Find your quiet center of life and write from that to the world. ~Sarah Orne Jewett

1. Everyone who’s patient with me
2. including myself
3. being more patient with others
4. even when they lose their patience (breaking the chain reaction)
5. Coming from a place of peace
6. so much more often
7. feeling the way I want to feel
8. and allowing the other feelings their space and time
9. moving forward
10. even this
