I love this maybe its because I know that I am being me, not someone else to please anyone... and showing restraint and compassion and that little piece of me that I usually hide with a gruff exterior for fear of being hurt .. Well I let it shine lately and apparently that little light attracted the kind of attention I really needed instead of drawing those to me that would rather I be kept down and feeling low about myself... I'm soooooooooooo very happy for you! ENJOY and DON'T LET ANYONE STEAL YOUR JOY!

Great blog Becks,,,,except for the last 3 words 
You are so Right on Target,,,,,, re PATIENCE
I have moved 'beyond' the bible and am exposing myself to other 'Inspirational' reading ,,,,,which so far,,,, compliments the parts of the bible that I know deep inside me are true for me,,,,,,,,
One of those 'parts' is the chapter in the bible that is known as the LOVE chapter,,,1st Corinthians 13
It's the 'slide rule',,,,the definition,,, of the 'ingredients' of 'True' love
I don't believe that it's an accident that ,,,,'PATIENCE' is the very FIRST quality listed,,,,
I used to think patience meant gritting my teeth  and possibly biting my tongue off in the process
My kids taught me what patience was
I've had 5 kids and every time one of them was approaching the 'so called  ' TERRIBLE TWO's I would haul out the books in an effort to understand them
They didn't have the terrible two syndrome because I was one step ahead of them with my understanding thereby minimizing their frustrations
Anticipating their needs meant they didn't have to suffer the frustration of failing to communicate because thru no fault of their own they just hadn't developed the necessary skills yet
I Also learned from my own personal experience while living in Quebec and having the 'thoughts',,,,but,,,,not enuf of the French language to adequately 'express' them that this is precisely the sort of frustration a 2 year old goes through
I believe that TRUE patience is just a 'symptom' of UNDERSTANDING
why we,,,,or,,,,others,,,,do what they do
We don't need to be good or even loving to have patience IMO
We just need to UNDERSTAND,,,, why ,,,, and then we don't react negatively to FRUSTRATION
Of course its'mostly' true that 'LOVE' is the ,,,'Motivation' that leads us to make the 'effort' to UNDERSTAND

Thank you all Carpe...after reading your post I see that patience is born of frustration with ourselves and others ... but being able to deal with frustrations is the big secret  ... I know I have been frustrated sometimes in my life and sometimes the way I have dealt with it is ummm well not good yanno?? but I am getting better at it .. I think....   thank you all for your comments
