Being patient is hard is you have always been an impatient person. I don't really know if one can practice it. I plug away but I find that my patience slips away every single day. All I can do is take life one day at a time. One hour at a time. Sometimes one moment at a time.
Today is day 28 of the 31 Day Challenge from The Nester's Blog. It has not been an easy challenge. Or a particularly happy challenge. I am ready for it to be over. Read my 'Practicing Patience' posts by clicking here.
I agree, I don't know if patience is something that can be practiced. I had to completely change how I approach some of my students in order to gain patience with them. It's hard. But it paid off.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that is what I will need to do with my husband....because I sure am not very patient with him lately
DeleteAs mature aries women patience is never going to be our forte.
ReplyDeleteI whine and bitch and moan.
I have no patience, it is just not in me x
Thanks for putting it into perspective for me Lisa. I agree that it is just not going to happen for me either. Now I just have to find a way to vent all this impatience and anger elsewhere. And let my husband live out his remaining days without thinking he married a bitch!
DeleteMy husband used to wonder if he married a complete bitch...I can say, I have gotten better.
DeleteI agree, I think you have to have some patience in order to gain more patience. I am a pretty impatient person too. Maybe I need to work on how I react when I am impatient rather than gain more patience...
ReplyDeleteNow there is a good idea!
