I have had to keep that in mind a lot this summer... patience. It's essential in many aspects of life, but especially in farming, even when it's a small operation like ours. Patience waiting on baby chicks to hatch, but always worth the wait and worry. Patience for the girls to calve. Being on calf watch can be exhausting! Again, always worth the anticipation. (Even if one always calves 2 months after the others!) Patience. Patience and more patience for us first year beekeep
