Where Gratitude Grumbles ~ 004

Thank You for the Patience Practice

To the woman in front of me at the light:

I thought you were waiting to go straight.

I was still frustrated because the lane was extra wide. You could have moved over just enough to let me—and the five cars lined up behind me—make our right turns while you waited.

Then the light changed.

And you turned left.

From the wrong lane.

While the drivers in the actual left-turn lane honked at you.

That was not the ending I expected.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to practice my patience today.

I appreciate you.

You can take that left turn with you.

I’m keeping my good mood.

You – and your occasional grievances – are always welcome here.
