I'd say the dictionary has patience correct. I used to consider myself a patient person. I know know that I am a very not patience person. My tolerance is low. My self-restraint is pretty much non-existent. My understanding is lacking. And I do not know how I got to this place? Before we had children and got married I was a very different person. My goal is to get back to that place again some day soon. I hate being the person who wants to yell and feels the need to correct every little thing my husband and children do. Patience changes your mood and helps develop your actions into what they will become.
