User tomasino gave some advice on patience, which I
appreciate[1].
I've thought about patience stereotypically as "a virtue,"
but not as a skill. That's important, because I'm not sure
that in my mind one could develop a virtue. I'll have to
think on that, perhaps even that is wrong.
But a skill, one has to exercise and develop. And like
tomasino said, you don't expect to be good at it right away,
you expect to work on it.
Kendama. I have one of those, somewhere. I recall landing
the ball a few times, but I do not recall getting to a point
where I could do it reliably. I'll have to find it, or get
a new one.
Meditation I'll have to work on; prayer, maybe, or perhaps
there is enough difference. I do pray, but not in as
medatative way as I ought. I spend about 1.5hrs sitting in
my car at a trailhead in the forest today. It was cold, and
I wasn't dressed for the weather, or I would have spent the
time outside. But, I didn't meditate or pray. So, I can't
claim it's a time issue, as I might have tried to claim if I
didn't have that example for myself from just a few hours
ago. I'll have to work on this too.
The venting part, I think I have down. I vent a lot to my
wife, and I feel like I vent a fair amount here on gopher as
well. I will say, there are a handful of "issues" that I
should probably vent more about.
