Patience. I waited 21 years to sew on E-7 after being eligible at year 12 and then wore E-7 for 8 years and commissioned at 47. Patient I am. Hard work wins out in the end and sometimes it takes the right person to see something in you. Great Monday thought Col.

SFC Shirley Whitfield - thank you for the kind words. I just made sure I did my job, took care of those around me, and kept my nose to the grind stone. We would have done well on the same team.

Good day my brother-in-Christ Maj Marty Hogan - waiting on promotion does take grace. I was passed over for promotion a total of seven times :-)
Twice to major and twice to LTC

It’s good that God can handle me.
My mother always told me I could test the patience of a saint.
I am willing to venture after 55 years that she did not miss the mark.

"Stay patient and trust the journey" ~Anonymous
When I first read this quote, I said "enjoy the journey" Those who have patience can cope with almost anything and not just cope but wait in a way that allows them to appeciate what is happening around them. This is a learned skill and it gets easier with practice. Where can you practice patience today?

Patience is not my strong suit. In the immortal words of Queen: "I want it all and I want it now"!. It is a virtue I have to work at constantly.
