PERSISTENT PATIENCE

          Because of erosion, the historic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was in danger of being washed into the Atlantic Ocean.

          So Congress appropriated $12 million for the National Park service to move it 2900 feet to safety.
         

        With a combination of care, expertise, patience and raw power, The Expert House Movers of Sharptown, Maryland moved the 208 foot tall, 9.7 million pound structure to its current home. The option of moving the lighthouse was first proposed in April of 1982, but the light wasn’t actually lit at its new location until November 13, 1999. 17 years of study and 23 days of moving later.

          Small achievements require very little time to achieve,..sometimes hardly more than the time it took to have an idea.

          The achievement of larger goals or the completion of greater dreams takes two steps forward and one step backwards...and sometimes this speed of progresion definitely requires persistent patience...

          Just one example and you come up with one of your own... before worrying about getting in the last word during an argument, why not consider getting in the first word for understanding? 

          Before always trying to win with a loud mouth, why not consider listening with a patient ear? 

          Sometimes it isn’t easy.

          There are even times when it is only a hoot and a holler away from being impossible.                  

          But far more times than you will probably admit, a soft patient voice will quiet a louder one and both of you or all of you, will begin to better understand each of you.

          Patience...it's rewards are great.
