Welcome to the March 27, 2008 edition of patience therapy.  This week has some stellar contributions - and plenty of room if you’d like to join in!  Simply add your link to the permalink below. All I ask is that your articles refer back to Patience Therapy or my site, Having Patience.

I’ve been wracking my brain to come up with a funny bit for today’s edition - laughter as the best medicine.  Apparently humour just doesn’t work that way.  Instead I’ll share a bit of insight into life in our household with a story of my son yesterday.

Children hate when we are on the telephone, and my son is no exception.  He hates it so much so that whenever I’m on the phone, there is usually some kind of crisis - permanent marker footprints on my floor (accidentally of course), falls, spills etc etc.  Well yesterday, Jaden must have exhausted all his ideas.  He said to me midway into a conversation with my sister “Mommy, I have an idea.  And you’re NOT going to like it.”  I didn’t.  He came upstairs with a toy piano in hand and begain to bang and belt out a tune, right beside me as I was sitting on the floor chatting away.  Of course, who couldn’t stifle her laughter in time which made it suddenly a fun game?  Yep.  I do it to myself.  At any rate, it was pretty hilarious.  Needless to say, my conversation with my sister was cut a little short.

And now for your entries:

Silveral presents Celebrity babies – new kids on the block posted at Celebrity News, and Gossip. ‘Cuz who doesn’t like a bit o’ gossip?  Actually a very nice, thoughtful piece on the the options celebrities face in terms of publicity when having children.

Sarah presents Keep calm and carry on posted at SARAHSPY.  Pop culture bit? Or advertising? Not sure, but I like the sentiment nonetheless.

Anmol Mehta presents The True Purpose of Relationships posted at Mastery of Meditation, Enlightenment & Kundalini Yoga, saying, “Article discusses the true purpose of relationships and the benefits of the challenges they pose to us. Includes an interesting story as well.”  Maybe this is one of the reasons relationships are so difficult - it’s hard to see one’s one shortcomings.

Carole G. McKay presents Managing Chaos posted at Gold Post-it.  Carole submitted this article to an edition of Patience Therapy that just did not get published - my apologies, but I hope better late than never!

That concludes this edition. I’m so happy to get back on track with this carnival because it’s a delight every week to read some great articles.  Thanks again to all for participating and I hope to see you again next week!
