We got some rain mixed with snow and that always makes travel slower
and requiring more patience. I put off some chores that I got to get done today and I will just have to be patient waiting in traffic and
waiting in the grocery store. Are you patient or impatient? Please let me know! Thanks!----Mistyeve

Sorry to hear about the SNOW in late march for you. We had rain in the monring but the sun came out about 10 and it warmed up to about 60 during the day. It was a beautiful day to start my Spring break!
I have patience today that I can credit to my program. Using slogans, realizing the world does not revolve around ME and my itty-bitty feelings...realizing others don't do things like I do and that's OK...realizing I can choose what time i go to the grocery and if i CHOOSE to go when it's crowded, I will expect a wait.
Patience came with letting go. It came with using all of those things i mentioned above. It came with remembering to BREATHE. When I did my 4th step this was my number one character defect. It was the first one I worked on. So i HAVE come a very long way.
LIN

Dear Lin----Interesting that you should bring up the idea to remember to breathe!!! When I am in tight traffic and some on almost
shaves the paint off my car passing
me, I tend to hold my breath. I do
that too if I am trying to make a
stop light that is changing or trying to pull into a real tight parking spot. Breathing is a good
thing and I need to break that bad
habit of holding my breath. It may
help me to be more patient if I've
got more air to work with!!! Wow!
that is a great idea!!! Thank you
so much for stopping by---Mistyeve

Today was a good one, although I had to have patience with myself. I cooked my friend an early Easter dinner. When he left, I had to give myself permission to take a time out. Still not bounding with the energy I would like to have. When I have acceptance, then I find the patience. |

Dear Caressa----I think you might be on to something. I can be patient when I accept that this is just the way it is. I do get more
impatient with myself then I do with others cuz I push myself to do
stuff more then I would anyone else
Easy Does It is a great slogan for
patience. Thanks for stopping by!
