character building

Have you ever been in a hurry and the person driving in front of you is just

driving like they have all the time in the world.  When you get to an intersection

and you need to turn right and you are in your car shouting at them to please go

straight so you can finally get rid of them from being in front of you, but you can't

be that lucky because you are in a hurry and they turn right just because you know

they are trying to bug you and slow you down. 

Now....

Have you ever been in your car driving and you just picked up a nice big cake for

a special party, or you have something in the trunk of your car that could break if

it got bumped?  For some reason when you need to go slow and you slow down

for every pot hole and you have to take every turn so carefully there seems to be

a ton of cars behind you and you know you are bugging them because you are

slowing them down?  All you want to do is yell out your window "sorry I have

a huge cake in the back so I have to be careful", hoping they would then understand. 

Isn't it funny how we never seem to have patience for other people but always want others

to have it for us. 

Or

How frustrating it is to want an answer to something, or just wanting

to know what's going to happen next and the only way to find

out is to wait patiently for the answer.  I don't think it means

to sit and do nothing and wait, I think it means stay busy

and keep working and when the time is right you will

get what you need in the time it is meant to be. 

I am learning Patience.  We all are.  Every day it is a work in progress.

Today it is going to be my main focus to have patience for others

 (unless they are just down right stupid then they are exempt),

and to have patience with myself.
