better

In my last post I spoke from a place of pain. Mindful of a difficult moment in my child’s day I absorbed his distress, weaving it into my frustration with another child’s behavior. Mentally stomping my feet, I willed others to speak and act from a place of patience, kindness, and tolerance. A soap box is a lonely companion, so I placed myself in the company of those towards whom I felt angry and looked inward to see where I could do better.
The question I am asking myself today is: Am I living in a place of patience, kindness, and tolerance? My answer came quickly and with a force resonating with the burden of truth. So, with a deep breath, I am looking forward with the expectation that I too can do better.
