... by how much love and patience and gratefulness I have for the elderly man in my face-to-face group that shares for way too long and keeps acting like he is going to wrap up and then gets going again.  biggrin

Lol, I think every group must have one of those, I know we have someone who does that. However, the chairperson usually gently reminds them of the time and they must finish up. It is a good measure of serenity because when I am feeling a bit off I can get impatient and feel the urge to say - get to the point- but I never would of course and I also think that the person who does it in my group has some additional issues in her life so forgiveness is another good one in this situation.x

What is it that Paula has said prior to this post?  "God came in and messed up my hair?"  That's what I'm thinking as I read these posts.

What I missed that PP post? Lol, I am getting more patient and had to deal with a new employee working next to me that I had to keep helping and she was a bit gassy with no acknowledgement of it, I was laughing in my head!

Considering you're going into nursing, BF, this may be training for you in a very special way? : ^ )
