Patience

Patience is something that I have always struggled to obtain. I think part of the problem is that I don't really WANT to be patient. I want what I want when I want it. That is all.

saliva secretion problem? Could I possibly be replacing an unhealthy habit with another unhealthy habit. Yes, yes, and yes. I do, however, get to eat chocolate. And that makes my heart happy.

That is all.
