Patience?

The other day I was late to an appointment and was waiting for a one-person-bathroom to come available.?I could hear the toilet paper roll dispensing, the toilet seat closing, the toilet flushing, the sink running and the hand towels dispensing.?But all of this was taking inordinately too long.?I was furious at the insensitivity of the person behind the bathroom door.?Well, furious until the door slowly opened and out shuffled a shriveled up old tinny handicapped woman apologizing profusely for taking so long.?I felt really small.??

Because “patience is a virtue,” I am facing my shortcomings and diligently practicing being patient.?If you suffer from this as well, all I can suggest is that you face your impatience, refresh your commitment to act with class, and redouble your effort to act patiently.?One practical suggestion: allow adequate time for what you need to do, because if you are pressed-for-time, impatience is just around the corner.

"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience." Ralph Waldo Emerson
