Doesn’t anyone else feel …… ?

Sunny gardens, it's easy to get frustrated, fed up and annoyed daily over what they are doing and or not doing and are saying. So even with our reasonable posts, we feel what you feel. However, with that said, at the end of the day, start of a new one, it is what it is. So, with love, understanding and compassion at the forefront of this dreaded disease, we rise to the occasion, each and every day. We can't control what's happening, but I do think we can take the rein on how we feel. Intentionally push the anger and annoyance aside to a much better place mentally obviously more for us than them. I think we have to remember that they didn't ask for this to happen. I think over time the irritation gets outweighed by the sheer desire to just make a difference in their life. Even when they can be contrary and/or difficult. Best, Karla

@kjc48 I’m trying. But it’s just such reasonable explanation that makes me think I’m failing if I’m not perfectly patient all of the time.
I’m grateful for those who tell their stores and admit their feelings on here, which helps me realize I’m not failing any more than anyone else, in my duty.
