These The Patient Understands

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Have patience with
all things, but chiefly
have patience with yourself.
- every day begin
the task anew.
Francis de Sales



The great person
is the one who does not lose the heart of a child. Mencius



I get up every morning and
it's going to be a great day.
You never know when
it's going to be over so
I refuse to have a bad day.
Paul Henderson



Put yourself in his place . . . 
The kindly word, 
the cheerful greeting, 
the sympathetic look -- 
these the patient understands.

A life without stories
would be no life at all.
And stories bound us
did they not: one to another,
the living to the dead,
people to animals,
people to the land.
Alexander McCall Smith

May we all practice patience with ourselves and others. Beautiful, Cloudia!

I got to think about the two definitions of ‘patient’. Perhaps one has to be patient about waiting to be a patient.

I laugh at a commercial for some medicine or another where they show a gorgeous hunk of a man in a hospital bed, being treated kindly by a nursing female. He could not possible need their medicine! No way!

...I have yet to develop patience.

I'd like to patiently sit near the surf board and his Easter Island guy, picking up the understanding vibes from wise ancestors. Linda in Kansas

I would love that every patient could understand the kindly word or cheerful greeting but unfortunately.

I love the woman and her dog and everything she brought to make them comfortable, Cloudia. ;-)

Patience is a hard one for me.

Great quotes, great photos. I especially loved the Alexander McCall Smith quote.
When I studying in MBA school, we had an organizational behavior professor who talked about the power of stories. She said stories bypasses the frontal cortex and goes right down the core of a person's being. I believe it and to the consternation of coworkers and bosses that is how I tried to reach customers and I thought it worked. (most of the time)

I love the photo of the Easter Island style head, surf board and that fun funky furniture. Very Hawaii. Have a great weekend, and give Pixie a pat for me.
