Rabbit (That's Me!)

Patience is the hardest virtue! I really believe this. It's hard to be patient when people around you are freaking out, getting angry, getting frustrated, or just generally scewing things up that you know you coud fix in an instant.

I tend to be a rather impatient person. Big suprise!!! t's a major fault of mine that I constantly work on. My own impatience leads to my own hurt in most cases. Weird how that works! The worst combination is an impatient person coupled with another impatient person. Sparks fly....the bad kind!

The solution? Take a step towards the patient side. Think three times before speaking (twice just doesn't cut it for me and my big mouth!). Mentally go over every possible response before you speak...be prepared for the outcome. Still your body, still your mind, make yourself rock solid and quiet and just allow things to happen as they will and go with the flow.

Make any sense? It doe to me!!!

I should be an expert in patience by this time. Corky has certainly tested my patience to the limit, and does so every single day. She's my talented, wonderful, problem child. She is teaching me to acquire new virtues - patience, big work ethics, time management, and humbling myself to ask for help.

Christmas is coming...the time that requires gallons and gallons of patience. Everyone around me gets very cranky during the holidays. I have to remember this year to step back and not get offended when people get snippy or rude, and not respond to potential hurtful statements or actions. Wow, if I can do all that, they'll be petitioning for my sainthood. Saint Rabbit...patron saint of foolish lives!
