If you go to the dictionary and look up the word patience, that is where you can find a picture of Xue. He embodies it. Read his threads too. He is excellent at studying himself, applying action and studying reaction but knowing that it is going to be little by little. Small changes are changes.
I had a hard time giving up the ILY's at first, but it was way for the better. As we started to piece, I still didn't say it. My W and I started (jokingly) saying "I hate you" in the same tone of ILY, and it was pretty funny. Even now however, we don't say ILY too much - so as to not over use it and it seems much more powerful when we do.
So, back at it. Patience Jersting - marathon not a sprint - journey and not a destination.

Never sacrifice the great for the good. Sometimes the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair.
