| "Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them -- every day begin the task anew." Saint Francis de SalesI take this as to learn from our past mistakes & fix them. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!!  I'd also like to hear other opinions regarding this quote. We always seem to be the hardest on ourselves!!  Love, B  | |

| Okay this one is a good one for me Beth on many counts.
Here goes.
The first part.
Have patience. Me? Patience, that is the one thing I don't have. Especially with some of the in laws.
Sometimes I find myself loosing patience with them(one in particular) Making the same mistakes over and over again asking me my advice but ignoring completely what I say. Then coming back to me to complain.
Then I come to part two,
"Don't' loose courage in considering your own imperfections."
I often have to remind myself when I loose patience with the in laws that there may be things that she may loose patience with me that I don't see. So I have to take inventory within myself on a daily basis. And try to see myself through the eyes of others. To keep myself in check.
"Start Every day anew"
I have to remind myself not to dwell on what was yesterday as today is a new day.
Did I over analyze that?
Always,
Dee | |
