Impatience

 I have bouts of impatience.  I lost the battle with a Subway BART door wanting to close while I was trying to get into the train.  My hand, dominant hand, got smashed.  I went to my dermatologist for a scheduled appointment, checkup.  He saw the wound I had bandaged and said, “We will stitch that up.”  It would heal faster and with no ugly scar.  Eight stitches and much pain after the pain killer wore off, I am on the slow mend.  I hope I have learned a good lesson.  God can be a tough teacher.  Isn’t my Guardian Angel supposed to cover for me?  I over ruled her with my impatience.

  1. I am sorry you are hurt and I hope you heal quickly & that the pain goes away fast, too. Thank you for still showing up this morning, sharing this important example and for, in all likelihood, typing it with your non-dominant hand. ❤️ Take good care of you.
