Saturday....let the patience take root

Saturday.........it would seem easy to follow the patience vibe considering I'm off work for the weekend and I can relax and kick back.........what?! No, the weekends are filled with what I can't accomplish during the week and I must switch gears into what needs to be done mode.

Friday was it's usual onslaught of a busy work day and utter exhaustion from the week after it's all said and done. Oh yeah, women nod here, hormones definately play a part in my adherence to patience! Again, since it's always in my head somewhere, easier to bring to the forefront this week.

Did I blow it? Oh yes! I've been quite aware of the triggers to my impatience and did the best I could to squelch the fidgety, jaw-clenching that warns me of my reaction that is coming. There are some impending situations have on the horizon which will call on me to really exercise this aspect. New people to figure out, financial issues, paperwork overload, my family's needs, etc. and so on.

I would guess that most of us feel annoyed and put upon many, many times daily. Does this feeling go away with the practice of patience? Not sure. Maybe it's a constant battle within or maybe we can see things differently as time goes on. To go through life not annoyed? Sounds like a heavy burden to get lifted off. I'm thinking it's probably an ongoing battle to some degree, though.

Will I succeed today in a different set of dynamics? Hmmmm...........
