Tis the Season for Patience
On December 14, 2009 in Thought for the Day
“Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.” Barbara Johnson
When I say “Mall� does your blood pressure rise? Do you break out in a sweat? Do you wince and start to twitch? Yeah, me too.
With the great festivities comes the need for greater patience. More lines, more hustle, more bustle in life and in work.
Workplaces may need to allow employees some extra time to get the errands done. Life may need some extra patience to wait in lines, deal with bare shelves, handle family emotions and all the challenges that come with a holiday season.
So, breathe. Let the little voice in your head remind you to be patient. Be the kind one to hold a door or help someone to their car – instead of knock them over in a rush to get in or out of the mall.
“Mall� – I said it again. I feel my head start to twitch and my pulse is racing. I need to think happier thoughts. Think snow, lights, Bing Crosby, egg nog and stocking on the fireplace…ah, I feel better now.
