It's April. The lilacs are budding out. Our sugaring season is over. The plow blade and the snowblower have given room to the lawnmower and lawn spreader. And the forecast calls for snow. There is a lesson in patience here. An opportunity to slow down, to breathe in and out, and let nature take its course. Like many of life's opportunities, there is nothing I can do to stop the weather.
These opportunities happen all the time. Sometimes they are a crowded schedule that leaves you wondering just how am I going to make it through today. Other times it's a bad day at work, traffic, a long line at the grocery store. The answer -- one step, one moment, one smile, one act of kindness, one task at a time. Make the step, take an action.
So what am I doing? Trying not to worry. Digging out some games. Piling up some books. Recharging the camera batteries. And... finding the snow shovels. It always amazes me that during these times of patience, good things come. So, the excitement builds -- What's going to happen?
Patience PT... all in good time.

Five years ago, but sounds like it was yesterday. Patience will always be a struggle. We an only hope to have ready, and reliable tools to get and remain patient.
Patience is a blessing.
