Patience . . .

"When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time."
– St. Francis De Sales

Bella has an extremely sensitive stomach - or should I rather say - Bella is extremely sensitive. She gets car sick easily, if she cries too hard she will regurgitate, etc. So it takes much patience to deal with our little angel when she is doing something that one disagrees with . . . if only her father would have more patience with her. I don't know if that just comes with age . . . or personality. He FLIPS on her and like tonight - she gets very upset and ends up throwing up. It really REALLY ticks me off, but I have learned to keep my mouth shut . . . it is not worth him carrying on and her getting more upset. It's funny . . . In all of my relationships, when it is worth it to me - I fight - like there is no tomorrow . . .but when I am getting to the point where it really isn't worth it - I don't anymore . . . I just fade away . . . they never get it until I am gone either - which is classic to me . . . how could one be so clueless . . . or how could many be so clueless . . . they push and push me . . . until they can no longer reach me. Sad but true. So the question is am I bending with time - my patience being more resilient and my strength more true and my gentleness more of a virtue or am I (and another relationship) just fading away. . .
