"Have patience with all things, but first of all, with yourself." William James Good advice. We all know that impatience with others or with situations, always also means impatience with ourselves. We are our own greatest task masters. We do not need to so manage ourselves. Life will present plenty of opportunities to rub off our rough spots; we do not need to be so vigilant in doing so. It feels of late that I have too many responsibilities. I have returned to work part-time to offset the tremendous expense of Dwane's care. I visit him regularly and take him his favorite treats to eat. I also have other professional and personal responsibilities. I am sure you do too. So, first of all, let's have patience with ourselves. It is not humanly possible to provide caregiving and do all the other things we want to do in life. But, this time in our lives shall pass. In the meantime, we can make the journey easier by being patient and gentle with ourselves.
