If it's something you love, you try to make time for it. They act like it's drudgery but to us it's NOT boring. Frankly in my opinion many of these people are just plain narrow-minded and don't even realize how annoying they can be.

O.o Wow...harsh! Patience is a state of mind that comes from understanding and accepting the surrounding happenings one must endure on a daily basis. In that patience one can relax and enjoy the simpler things in life and and possibly create through their own hands wonderful Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-1148636160263754272012-07-23T10:13:08.693-04:002012-07-23T10:13:08.693-04:00Thanks for introducing me to a new word!

It's very condescending, and I can't imagine saying that about something that's important to her or that she enjoys. (Well I could, but I feel rude just thinking it)<br /><br />The kicker is, she turns around and says, "You should sell your finished pieces.

I am, however, diligent and determined. So you're right; it's not at all about patience. Well, maybe it is when I don't chuck the thing in the garbage when I'm trying to do hardanger.

I usually manage to politely respond that it's a matter of 'making time' for something enjoyable but I have to admit that it irks me that people seem to assume that hobbyists just sit around all day with nothing else to do. :Pbarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11898566437682135391noreply@blogger.com
