I remember many times telling our girls that patience was a virture and
to cultivate it. It finally sunk in, tho I think it took longer with the
younger daughter. Now they're both raising their own children and
probably repeating what they heard from us.

I had a therapy appointment yesterday & was talking food with the young
man who was working with me. Asked him if he'd ever done anything with
sourdough; he said no, because he thought it involved a long time
committment just to do something like baking a loaf of bread. I told him
that there's maybe 20 minutes of hand's on time, at least an hour (or
more) of time to do something else while it rises, shaping time, then
more down (rising) time and baking. Lots of time to do other things
while the bread (or whatever) is doing its own thing. Patience is needed
there but lots of time to "sidetrack the mind" also.
