Good morning, Kathy... clearly some things are beyond our control. We just have to know how to roll with the punches.

Hi Kathy Streib - that is frustrating. Now Phyllis and I are waiting for the vaccine. I know we will get it.

The good news is that everything came out well for you. We are still doing mostly tele-health video visits up her

Hello Kathy - patience and acceptance is a muich-needed andidote for the "hurry up and wait" way of life that seems to inhabit far too many lives(and minds). A constant reminder of pause and reflection is good for me - I guess it would be better if I learned it a long time ago but "it is what it is". While, I have definitely not "mastered" the concept "it" remains a work-in-progress.
On a side note, I just finished Michael J Fox's "Lucky Man" which is one of his earlier books. I gained a bit more knowledge about him as a person so I appreciated finding a quote from him in this post.

I'm glad you are well!
I have to say, patience has never been my strong suit. I got a lot better at it when I had children and had to repeat the same thing over and over. But I'm still more of a lets-get-going type of person.

First of all, I truly hope all is well with you, Kathy Streib. We need you healthy and thriving. As for patience, acceptance is the name of the game as you suggest. It simply "is."

Much of my patience this week has turned into avoidance as the necessary action to keep me from stating some opinions that wouldn't be welcome by the recipient or their crowd of followers.
My Facebook memories popped up something I typed 4 years ago, and the only thing that would need done would be to flip the labeling of the parties and the same message would be just as applicable. So I'm ducking and covering and moving along as quickly as I can.

Patience is a virtue it is said but when it comes to doctors office waiting I don't know if my patience is so virtuous. It is what it is a saying I say often but don't always like the "what is" I like the Michael J. Fox quote and if anybody has had to learn patience or understands it is what it is it's him. Glad your wait was a short one. Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Kathy seems like a lot of us have had to 'beef' up our patience with many things and issues this year. Glad you finally got there and all is aok. You sure gave me a lot to enjoy with your photos...and especially the birds. I think I'd just sit outside and enjoy nature if I was having one of those days. Sometimes getting off the treadmill is the best thing to do.

Kathy,
We have found patience by making it an opportunity. Ron on Wednesday had a 7:40AM check on his new bionic eyes, and I waited outside for what was supposed to be a 15 minute appt. The person before him ran late. Instead of getting upset, he started ready Reuter's news, and found an article that validated a project we are working on. I, enjoyed reading my book on my iPad as I waited...As we like to say, where there is a rub, there is an opportunity! A

Kathy I need to learn from you because "patience and acceptance" are qualities I tend to not have much of.

I've had nothing but patience for the past two weeks. I haven't moved much in that time period either.

I definitely found myself in need of recharging my patience last weekend. And just when I get it recharged, the supply is getting drained again. Another good night's sleep may do the trick.

Hi Kathy Streib - After leaving the hurry-up pace of Southern California, I had to reacclimate to a slower way of life. Everything takes time in Slowdona! I like this pace much better.

Barbara Todaro trying to do both!!!!! And I know that you are.

Wayne Martin Thank goodness we can get out and walk...that helps.
Grant Schneider same here. I'm patient though.
Ed Silva we had a friend who'd put off going to the doctor-even though you can here- and when he finally went, he ended up having 3 stents put in.
Michael Jacobs he, of all people, can speak to that quote. I am typically a very patient person but...
Lottie Kendall I've been spoiled by some really good doctors. It's hard finding one you feel comfortable with.

faye schubert I've learned to be patient but I also speak my piece.
Kat Palmiotti patience is something I have unless I run into incompetence.
Roy Kelley I'll bet you and Chef Dolores are patient.
Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD the usual asthma stuff...no complaints. We have to figure out if there is anything we can do and if not, accept it.
Liz and Bill Spear I hear ya! I've bitten my tongue so many times I'll probably need plastic surgery on it. One of my pet peeves is the passing along of inaccurate information. Like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Hannah Williams it doesn't but I have to admit it can feel good!! LOL
Rocky Dickerson personally, I like the quote by John Dryden. LOL
Sharon Lee it was not as bad as I feared. I envisioned having to wait at least an hour for the bloodwork and x-ray and that's after over an hour at the doctor's.

Will Hamm I try to keep the faith that it will.
Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker I've said this many times, that if it weren't for being able to get out every day and walk, I'd go nuts. Just like your hiking. and yes, there's nothing like sitting outside and watching all of the birds at the feeder.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel that's the way I like to look at it and why I always have books on my phone or something I can do. How does Ron like his new "bionic" eye??
George Souto what I've learned is deep yoga breaths!!!
Hi Tammy Lankford, I know what you've been busy doing! You are blessed.
Chris Ann Cleland backing away, getting out...works for me.
Sheri Sperry - MCNE® I know what you mean. We're not in Houston proper and that makes a huge difference.

Hi Kathy, great reminders for us to always practice patience and acceptance. Thanks for sharing. I especially liked the quote by Michael J. Fox
