“Patience is a virtue”
The saying – “patience is a virtue” comes from the poem called Piers Plowman, created in 1360 – 1387. The original author of the quote is William Langland. Patience may have been a virtue back in the 14th century when there were no smartphones, internet, planes, email and so on. (Wiki)
I’m practicing patience daily. I remind myself to stop, breathe deeply, and pause before I get upset, quick-tempered (mostly with drivers), and criticize the construction workers that begin at 7:00 am on the dot! I know ‘life happens’ and people are harried; I know people must get places, and I know it’s their work. If people would focus on their tasks, put down the devices, drive the trucks mostly forward rather than
I choose to grow bright flowers! (Inhale, exhale)
Choose happy, content, and peace. And choose compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and forgiveness (of self and others.)
