I was often amazed at how patient I was with them. Then RA arrived. I had to learn a whole new set of rules of patience when it came to my own recovery. But, sometimes I feel grateful for RA for bringing me to this point where I have to keep learning at being a better person. Finding so many positive friends has definitely helped!

Spirituality is something I have dealt with on my RA journey also. As in everything I do, I had to find what felt right for me even though it was different than worked for my family and friends.

I struggle with that a lot. I was never very patient to begin with and this tends to exacerbate it. You had a wonderful point about casual acquaintances and strangers. I have been dealing with a minor flare in my hips and knees and I am SURE that more than one person has thought “will she JUST hurry up!” as I very slowly crossed the street or led someone to find the item they were looking for in my store. Having that in the back of my mind has made me less patient with myself and caused me a bit of anxiety. I will have to remember this post as I feel the stress rising. As always- this post was very timely for me and I appreciate it. Have a wonderful day!

I am the first to admit it. It is such an attractive trait in those who have it, & I feel sure that patient people are more content. Sigh.
