Day 74 ~ Patience

Not one of my virtues. I was disappointed today because I wanted to send a Christmas package and my son had not finalized his writing on the card, forcing me to take all the packaging materials, stickers, labels, and markers to the post office. The long line wasn't enough to finish the card and wrap the present, so we were sent to the side when our turn arrived. My level of stress was very high at that point, but in retrospect, it looks insignificant. Yes, my son hadn't helped me in putting the present together or in signing the card on time, but agonizing about it was not going to help the situation. His attitude from that point on made all the difference. He stayed calm despite my complaints and made my wrapping job easy. I admire his composure.
