PATIENCE

Accepting a difficult situation without giving a deadline to remove it

vs. Restlessness

I WILL:

• change the things I can change and accept the things I can't;

• keep trying until I succeed;

• make the most of my spare time;

• not interrupt;

• not complain if I don't get my way.

The monarch butterflies migrate many miles to areas where they spend the winter.  The temperature in these areas must be just right -- cold enough for them to stay inactive, but not cold enough to freeze them.  The monarchs wait patiently during the winter so they have enough strength to make the long trip back home in the spring.
