HEALING - RELATIONSHIP - LOVE - EVERY DAY

Good Morning - a bit early, and I have been a bit "under the weather" the last few days. OK, I'm sick. Nothing serious. However, not bounding around full of energy, rather lethargic, somewhat grumpy, and finally not defiant. In other words, I'm allowing whatever is happening to happen, yet taking steps to move past it.

PATIENCE!!!! Yikes, that is a challenging word for me. Within the relationship of one, two or more, such as families or groups patience is number one, I believe. A lot roles into that one word. The concept of "Just Be," for example.

I have heard your questions, comments and needs more clearly for some, and with others the statements have been or questions are broad and large. Yet, keeping in "A Tidbit" form, I write what seems to happen or appear in front of me.

When healing from or accepting loss of any kind, from illness, from or within whatever place I find myself -- patience.

Advantages: It provides time to see more clearly, time to understand and take corrective action, time to nap, some days.

If on vacation in England for instance - I"m so flattered you are reading my blog, yet, as a suggestion -- patience. Move away from the computer and other electronic devices and have a TRUE vacation. What a wonderful experience you are having. One to share with another, once another is found.

"Fire Proof" - Patience. When giving a gift, expectations can derail the true meaning. And, there is nothing wrong with pink. Think of the process as a gift. Give it and let it go. Patience

Loss - Patience. Each person will process loss differently. Perhaps, look at the prior right and wrong blog posts. Also, take time to notice emotions from feelings. When you can, dive in to determine what truly is going on. What is the emotion, and then determine the feeling. There is a post somewhere about this. Patience, with yourself and the process of healing. Pain cannot be put on a blackboard and wiped away in one swipe. It will fade, which can take patience.

Patience - a gift to others and yourself. It does not mean that nothing is being accomplished. Patience can mean that you are taking time to observe the accomplishment.

OK - I'm off to the Dr. this morning, and patiently my day is beginning.

Squeeze joy --

Susan---Lisa here of OR thank you so much for your lastest post on patience and you hit the nail on the head. Just be and take a moment to step back and breathe as all things will will fine.

I believe in God and I so believe that everything happens in Gods timing. So don't try and push it as it will happen when God is ready for it to happen.

Love your photographers picture and my youngest son of age 4 wanted a copy of it for his wall in his bedroom as he see's angels my son is very smart for being 4 yrs old.

Hi Susan---Alice here from Henrietta NY--I am doing the Love Dare as you mentioned. Please share your in sites as I'm doing this should there be some sort of sign or acknowledgment from the other person that your making an effort.

What do I need to do that shows to the other person that attempts are being made. The other person is just not noticing. It is getting a bit frustrating.

Please Help

Hi Susan---Nathan here from FL---Thank you for the reminder about patience as it's only my 5 yr old daughter and I now as my wife die about 6 months ago from cancer.

I am not use to being mommy and daddy all the time and sometimes it gets the best of me. However, I step back and realize that I must have been a brat to my mother from time to time and test her patience as well. When I think back to that I laugh knowing with God's guidance everything will be fine.

Love your photographers picture.

Also I'm interested hearing your perspective on relationships.

Keep up the outstanding writings

Hope to hear something as to what is my next step.
