A person’s patience can definitely wear thin over time. Not even the steadfast optimist can keep his calm temperament from fraying at the edges after it’s been unraveled by a monumentally bad day.

In the next post, we keep up with Khristian.

I could learn from Harold's tattered jeans. A perfect example of a student teaching his teacher. :)
