Patience

I have been struggling lately with my patience and tolerence in various areas of my life.  I have realized I have neither patience nor tolerence.  Sometimes I wonder where they went to.  I believe life itself creates this struggle within ourselves and leaves us exhausted and therefore we no longer desire to try.  Like the Iditarod, the dogs just mush on and mush on not seeing anything, but what is straight ahead.  No time to stop and smell the roses, for lack of a better term.  I am finding myself thinking thoughts I would not normally think, or saying things I would not normally say, out if impatience.  I am not better than anyone else, but when I get this way I almost feel like I want to be.  I feel like I can do it smarter, faster or better.  It is within those thoughts that the patience and tolerence I am taking about turn into impatience and intolerance.  I believe it is time to search inside myself and find out the root cause of these feelings.  It time for a time out!  We all have stress in our lives, but how we handle the stress is what truly matters.  God Bless!!!!!
