So, it's Tuesday

Well it's Tuesday and I've been to work, home, the store, etc.. on and on.
Love is patient has been in the front or back of my mind today as I try to carry on my "quest". Nothing exciting really. I've been faced with the usual onslaught of waiting, traffic, things out of routine, cranky people etc. that we all have to deal with on a daily basis.

Was I more patient? I think I paid more attention to it which, in turn, made me more aware when I was feeling that certain twang of impatience. My alert seems to be a fidgety-ness, maybe a clenching of the jaw, a restless feeling. I curbed it for the most part, I guess.

I did find some things I really didn't pay attention too that made me on the verge of losing my patience. One of them was when people seemed to be double-talking to me. Meaning someone was dancing around what they really meant but trying to sound polite about it. It made me very impatient with them!! I decided to unclench my jaw and let them politely "insult" me I figure maybe they were just trying to be patient with me, too!

Also, maybe we mistake the "patience" in others for over-tolerance (is there such a thing?) to things that drive us crazy or we feel judgemental about. I may be able to be patient with someone displaying behaviour someone else is not and vice versa.

We all want to be in control but sometimes that power struggle leads to missing the bigger picture and someone gets lost in the translation. I don't want to lose anyone in the translation.
