Patience!

Patience!

Who the Hell has time for patience. Nobody! Whether it’s on the road, in the GYM or at home. Everyone wants everything now. When on the road, people butt in front of you, and then honk their horn if you won’t let them in. I ask you, get one car length ahead, what does that actually do for you?

            In the line at a BBQ everyone tries to get at least two to three people ahead. What does that do for you, are you afraid they are going to run out of food before you get yours?

            At the bank, same thing, you hear the people in the line taking a deep breath and letting it out so all can hear they are displease at having to wait to get to the teller. Not just once or twice but several times. Then when they get up to the teller they take forever like the people behind them deserve to wait.

            Now lets move on to the grocery store. At the meat counter, frozen food section, vegetables and produce, everyone is in a hurry and you are just in their way. If they don’t bump into you with their shopping cart or accidently bump into you with their 300 lb body, they will start talking to their self about how rude you are for not moving out of the way.

            So how much patience do you have? Do you get annoyed at little things? Do you wait patiently for people to move out of your way? Or are you one of those people that leave your shopping cart in the middle of the isle and walk off to the end of the isle to get what you want?

Blocking anyone else from going down the isle in either directions.

            Those motorized carts are the best thing in the grocery store for people that have conditions that prevent people from walking down the isle for their groceries. But heaven help you if you are moving to slow and they want to get where you are. I’ve been hit in the back run over and pushed out of the way just to get one to two feet in front of me. Like I’m going to clean out all the groceries in that isle before they can pack their cart.

            Moving on to road rage! When stopped at stoplights have you ever noticed how people start honking at you to move forward before the light turns green. That just kills me. I usually throw up my hands and point to the light. As I ask them, where do you really want me to move too?

            I’ve always had a lot of patience’s throughout my life, and I’ve tried to teach my children to be tolerable of older people for they are slower than twenty year old's. Most of the time they practice restrain, but I have noticed they are quicker to release the reign of terror on their children because they don’t move fast enough.

            I have caught myself yelling at my husband for no reason other than I have nobody else to yell at. I have nobody else to take my frustrations out on. He understands and lets it go in one ear and out the other. Thank goodness, or he would have left me a long time ago.

            So, all of you out there, patience is something we all have to practice. Take a deep breath blow it out slowly and keep our blood pressures down to a normal range.

                                                            MAY GOD BLESS!
