I don’t know what this means actually, since I don’t speak French. Ok, it’s not IN French, but it is a French proverb, which is about the same.

I know, sometimes my drawings just make no sense. But I did have a very pointed message in my reasoning for drawing this. I just forget what it was now.

I am starting a proverb series today.
I keep coming across quotes that have no author, and usually they are either too stupid for someone to take credit for or they are proverbs that have become connected with a particular culture.
Yesterday’s was the first variety, today’s is the second.
Doesn’t matter if it is a doctor, a wife, a husband, a kid, or a president you are waiting for, if you have to wait too long it’s easy to stew, and stewing makes for malevolent thoughts; anger, frustration, annoyance, etc.
It really does get down to trying to understand why you are angry at the delay. What is going to happen that is so bothersome? Missing a flight can be a pretty big drag for example. But I learned long ago, after being married to two women who both have a biological clock set at least 15 minutes behind the rest of the world, that in the end most delays aren’t really that big a deal and they aren’t worth getting crazy over.
