Waiting is not my favorite thing to do. I am constantly waiting for something. Something to arrive, my husband to get ready & a phone call. I am so glad that we have more patience than we have had in the past. What I am getting at is that we finally got our dryer installed Weds. It was a long wait but I think it is worth it by far. I guess my HP is teaching me more about patience every day. I hope that the road that leads me home is not a long one. I am constantly being frustated.
I am willing to do the footwork in this program. I love my connection on here & in F2F meetings. You are like family to me. I never thought that people on line would be so close. YOU definitely are treasured by me. I have so much respect for you all. You make sense to me when I can't find the answers in my own mind. I am never going to forget where I came from. I just hope I am going in the right direction.
I am now 49 years old. I am finally really maturing & am much more helpful. I can't say it enough what the difference a year makes. I am not afraid to age. I want to be focused on how much I can do in each moment.
I love you all. I won't ever get to meet you all in person, but I know you are there. I will continue to trudge the road to happy destiny.
The ODAT suggested that patience was acquired by:"Letting go of self will". That really helped me.
(((Kathleen)) one day at a time we are walking this road together.
I 'get it' and feel the same! I also have to work on patience ALWAYS it seems.....it's getting easier - perhaps it is an age thing - I am a few years ahead of ya.....52!
Have a great night and a marvelous weekend!
