A lot of things in life involve patience, or at least they should involve the virtue everyone is in short supply of.
I was meditating each afternoon for an hour for several years but somehow fell out of the routine.
I want to get back into it again so I am going to start each afternoon with a meditation session and see if I can sustain the habit once again because it has really helped me to be more patient. I try to do it each afternoon when I think about it, kind of like the HEPA filter salesman told me to do when my friend and I would work at the Heating and A/C corporation each afternoon. We would do a little meditation session when my friend and I got to work to put us in a patient mood and it just made the afternoon flow a lot smoother. I will start again in honor of my Heating and A/C expert who has moved on, but her wisdom still echoes clearly in my mind each afternoon while I am working on an Heating and A/C system or doing some radiant heated floor repairs in someone’s house. I miss that old woman and wish I recorded some of what she would say to me so I could listen and learn from it, but it is all just in my mind and my memories now. She would be cleaning a furnace filter and telling me about life, which felt like I was back with my grandpa sitting in front of the fireplace on his lap listening to him tell me a story. I miss my patient Grandparents so much, jeez.
