Today's Gift - 3/1

Be Patient with Everyone
--from writings by St. Francis de Sales

Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself . . . do not be disappointed by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage.

How are you to be patient in dealing with your neighbor's faults if you are impatient in dealing with your own?

They who are worried by their own shortcomings will not correct them.

All positive progress comes from a calm and peaceful mind.

Pappy!!!!!
It always surprises me sometimes when I am thinking or dealing with something I come to this board or go to a meeting and find it. I was thinking how impatient I was with the neighbors and told the landlord who happened to be working next door. Our neighbors below us were arguing and screaming, throwing things most of the day on Friday. I told him yesterday and then a few minutes later I felt so much guilt for talking about them.( I used to do alot of that arguing and stuff when I was drinking.) Then I realized one reason I am impatient with others is because I am not very patient with myself.
Thanks for posting!

BTY
