Life has taught me patience, and when it runs out, I'm up front with Daniel. Ie "Mommy is almost out of patience." Sometimes just admitting it gives me just the little bit more I need.Julie Owsik Ackermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11583691214627281052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843414525694557803.post-75303764504203749522013-09-08T10:45:50.665-04:002013-09-08T10:45:50.665-04:00Julie, Love the photos and your stories of life w...Julie, Love the photos and your stories of life with a toddler. I'm on a parallel plane navigating life with my 90 year-old mom, who wants to do so many things she could do without thinking before her vision dimmed to seeing the world in shadows of gray. I tell myself to be patient with her, letting her do the things that won't put her life in peril but might take 3 times as long as it would take me. <br /><br />Patience could be our ticket to heaven.Chris Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400228290978730369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843414525694557803.post-75128873241024315562013-09-08T06:53:39.731-04:002013-09-08T06:53:39.731-04:00So THAT'S the secret!
