SUNDAY CHIP---PATIENCE/IMPATIENCE
I am feeling a wee bit impatient today......
I suppose all that is called for is to let go of the problem
or situation that annoys me and allow God to work it out.
But God works in His own way and has no time clock!
I've been on the impatient side of this defect for a
life time and it's not easy to change. I'll go 3 steps
forward and slide back 4, suppose it's a process and
change takes time. If I would only learn the lesson
I just might be able to move forward.......
Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl

This chip has always been my chance to be jeckyll and hyde. During the day...when I teach...I have the patience of a saint when a child can't understand subtraction or multiplication. But let me come home to a drunk husband who is being obnoxious and my patience flies out the window!
This was the one character defect I foudn first when I worked my first 4th step. Over the eyars I have tried to find a balance and MOST of the time I have patience in both areas of my life. But occaisionally...I LOSE IT!
HP is not finished with me yet. Still a work in progress.

Patience is not my strong point, but it sure is a lot better than it use to be. Early in recovery I learned it wasn't good to ask for it because my HP gave me things I had to learn to tolerate in order to practice it.
Every time they would ask for a topic, I would ask for this because I had problems accepting and tolerating living with my old maid aunt, who I loved dearly, but we were just not on the same page.
