Patience as a Virtue

Patience as a Virtue

After three months of living in a third-world country. Three months of literally living the exact opposite way of life that I have accustomed myself to. Three months of bucket baths, tortillas and beans three times a day, thirty minute hikes to go buy a cold coke, and reading by candlelight (and not for the romance of it) – I can officially say that I am redefining by level of patience a million times over.

Today the internet is slow.


In two seconds, I lost everything that I have learned the past three months. One would say, I flipped my lid.

How can I have insane patience for life, yet cry over slow internet?

Because I’m an American Online (AOL)… And I GOT MAIL, that I want to read.

Overly emotional for know purpose,

Jimbo

Hey Jimbo
I just read your blog for the first time and I really enjoyed it. I like that you were talking about dog balls with the women in your family. Also, happy belated birthday! Good luck and keep saying what's on your mind (except translating it first)
