"I get so impatient at times that I have to go off by myself and read St. Francis de Sales' letters to calm myself." Dorothy Day, *Diaries*.

Great idea. I don't have his letters, but I do have Pauline Books' nifty *[Courage in Chaos, Wisdom from Francis de Sales](http://store.pauline.org/english/books/productid/3747?ref=thedailyeudemon.com#gsc.tab=0)*. Given my dearth of patience, I may have to start carrying it around in my back pocket.

And maybe I should tattoo this passage from her Diaries on my forearm: "In reality it takes heroic virtue to practice patience in little things."
