A synonym for patience is endurance
Thursday, March 30, 2006
In several of the old romantic novels I used to love, the heroine (I think they now call it the protagonist) was named Patience. I used to think that was a romantic name for a girl. I could envision her mother calling to her, "Come here, Patience, I have something for you." Somewhere along the way, the appeal of that name has left me. Maybe it is because the characteristic that the name implies has also left me.
