Do you have more patience than before?

When I was younger, I didn't have any patience. I couldn't wait a minute if I wanted, or needed something....but now that I am older, I seem to take everything as it comes and I take my time.

What are you like now that you are in (probably your mid 50's or 60's?)...do you seem to take it slow now? Or are you in a hurry?

Re: Do you have more patience than before?

Blue...I have to agree with your logic on this topic. In the past if I wanted something, I somehow would manage to get it just as quickly as I could. And, I was always in a hurry, didn't want to wait for anything. Now, I am happy to say, that I am more satisfied and by being so...I'm very laid-back and more comfortable in my own skin...

I had a bit of trouble with Patients on another thread.

My missus used to say that I had a lot of patience but I replied that I have as much patience has anyone else, I just use it more.

I used to have it.... people even used to comment on it.... but not so much these days, especially when I'm shopping.

Re: Do you have more patience than before?

I'm more comfortable in my skin and a sort of contentment , but I think I'm more grumpy and less patience with people and life situations .

I wonder if it's because I've been round the block sooooo many times

Re: Do you have more patience than before?

If I find I'm losing patience these days I just ignore stuff...really I've come to realise life is too short...and I'm good at ignoring stuff

Re: Do you have more patience than before?

Hi

As I am getting older I realise there is not as much time left to do everything I want.

I tend to do things straight away now to make sure I can do them.

Re: Do you have more patience than before?

Less in some cases more in others. I no longer suffer fools gladly but I've all the time in the world for family.
