Patience

This week my patience has been tested numerous times and it's not just holiday related, however rude teenagers in the mall parking lot have not helped the situation. A few times I've let it get the best of me, but I've been working hard at taking a step back and figuring out how best to handle the situation instead of just being mad. Sometimes it's taking a break or saying 'no' to another activity or event. Sometimes, it's exercising. Sometimes it's just sitting on my tush and watching television. Whatever it is, it usually helps more than stewing in grumpiness. So, tonight, I will be seated on my couch, taking a break and tomorrow I'll feel better because of it.
