Patience and Fortitude
Patience and Fortitude are the names of the lions guarding the entrance to the New York Public library. A good reminder for us all.

Yes it is a good reminder and I love that they have on mask. New York was the hardest hit with the virus
Good for them for the masks and for the lions. 🙂
Excellent names for the lions. Two qualities that everyone could use a little more of.
Yes. 🙂
Trying to apply those words, a little difficult at times… I assume not many thought about those lions or their names before this year.
We’ve had a fairly easy time of it until now.
That’s perfect!
Yes!
This was a great idea to put masks on them. Especially considering their names!
They have to set a good example. 🙂
Well, if I do say so myself, I’ve got Fortitude…
But ZERO Patience
:/
I work on my patience a lot. It saves a lot of wear and tear on the nerves. 🙂
perfect!
🙂
I am happy to learn their names. Good choices for any time. Did not realize the virus could spread to the felines of this world.
They continue to learn more about the virus, thank goodness.
I’ve seen photos of even stuffed animals with face coverings. In this world turmoil (not just pandemic)…those two virtues should be top notch considerations.
That’s a great idea, to have stuffed animals with masks. That makes it seem normal for kids.
I like their names…wish I had more patience, sometimes.
I work a lot on mine, it helps a lot.
How about Courage?
Do I ever need loads of Courage, right now, on more than one front….
Yes! One of my favorite mantras used to be, “I have all the courage I need.” It helped a lot when scary things were happening. Now one of them is, “Play your part well and let go of the results.” Another is, “The quality of our lives depends on how we focus our energy and our attention.”
I love that photo!
The photographer did a great job.
