What did I learn today....

To have patience is a great virtue. Today I nearly broke a lot of my own rules when impatience ruled the day. People pushed past me in a shopping centre, I was forced to communicate with people to whom reason and reality is a stranger, my children were begging me for attention and after a few hours of the constant battering the telephone wire that was my patience almost snapped and shut off communication. I then began thinking back over the morning and something, actually two things, my gorgeous husband said over tea this morning came back to smack me alongside the head and remind me who I am and who I want to be. He said, "remember always that the circle will turn" and then later he said "If you keep planting lemon seeds all you are going to get is lemon trees". I decided that if the circle was going to turn then I wanted something good to come back at me and not something bad, and, although I really like lemon trees, I will not let my life only bear sour fruit. I feel that I am breathing again, my patience is back and life suddenly looks a whole lot more cheerful.
