Patience is a Virtue...

...as defined by Benjamin Franklin.

He also routinely practiced what he preached. How else did the lightbulb come to be?

Welp, this virtue is on my list, too

My one-day-someday list.

Right now, as I recover from ACL surgery, patience is not my best attribute.

To read how I am trying.... go here.

Hello Meredith, it's Mark Gabriel. I was going through and enjoying Parker & Meegan's blog and noticed you as one of their friends (of course). I cannot recall how far out from surgery you are now and I admire your courage and fortitude during recovery. We (Robyna & I) pray for your full recovery. I think I shared my full-knee replacement experience with you at one of our gatherings but if not, I hope you feel much better than a full-knee replacement. I am lobbying for Robyn to allow me to skii this upcoming season since it takes a year or two for an old guy like me to recover. I have to get into a more regimented weight training routine and methodically "come back". Well, take care there in the metro. And please remember that Robyn and I would do anything for you like your own parents and true friends would do. We're listed in the directory and Meegan also has our numbers. Also please give our regards to your parents. They are great people and I have truly enjoyed getting better acquainted these last few times with them, you, and your family. Did your Mom show you that photo I emailed her of Madison and Cameron in front of the MTC together? (I hope this is a personal message and not public on your blog.) Take care, your Bro. Gabe (Mark Gabriel)

Uhh... Wasn't that Thomas Edison?

Indeed. Ben Franklin helped to harness electricity (think kite and lightning). Edison = lightbulb. But I'm sure Ben learned patience as well!
