Patient/Impatient

[caressa]

For the most part, I am a very patient person. I have had people tell me this; but have often had the thought, you should see what is behind this mask. Since I had the two bouts of Bells Palsey, my face does not show the expression as much due to the paralysis.

Today was a real tester. They say that people who have Fibromyalgia are sensitive to sounds and smells. Today other people's smokes just about choked me and I found myself coughing. There seemed to be a lot of kids who were either whining, crying, or just being loud. The mother's had dared to take their kids out of school and put them on my bus between one and two p.m.

It was really damp here today. I put on jersey pants because I couldn't stand the weight of my jeans on my skin. Polymyalgia is a form of rheumatoid arthritis and it hurts for anyone to touch me. My hands hurt from the little bit of typing have done here today. The good news is that "This too shall pass."

Hopefully I will have patience when I go to bridge tonight.

Good chip for me today......

"Honey" had a doctor appointment this morning, normally I
am very impatient when I have to wait. Today there was
the sweetest little old lady sitting next to me and the waiting
time passed quickly.

I have always had to work on this flaw in my character....
I want, what I want, when I want it! I hate waiting
in lines! I have to go the extra mile and make myself
mind me! Today I was patient and I think God might have
put the little old lady there just to show me it is possible
for me to be a little more patient.

Peace on the journey...... SunnyGirl

Was on the impatient side today. I took a book to read while I was waiting for Darts, but with my migraine, I couldn't read. Then I had a little resentment because I couldn't. I am reading Janet Evanovich's new book Turbo Twenty-Three. I want to know who done it without sneaking a peek at the end. This is another issue that I try to work on. Staying in today isn't looking at the end of the book and spoiling the story.



This goes along with the attitude I need to change, "God give me a little hint so we both know what is going on."
