When I am driving I always try to leave room for other drivers to pull in front of me if they need to change lanes. This exercise, which unfortunately drives other drives behind me insane, helps me in my personal life as well.
As I struggle to be a more patient person I find that this act of giving people room helps me not to jump to conclusions or get so angry. It also helps me to learn to slow down and not be in such a rush; I'll get there.
As Thanksgiving is upon us I am thankful for loved ones and family and will try to give them room as well. Sometimes I can treat family worse than a stranger so I'll try to leave the lane open for any one that needs to pull ahead, including those I may not want to.
Happy Thanksgiving,
May you be well, happy and peaceful!
About Me
- Rafael
- I am just trying to make my way in the world without causing any harm while I am here. It is a noble task that I hope to get better at with each passing day. I currently write several blogs. NoThinker is my social activist blog. Running for CRSF is a blog I started when I wanted to track my training for my first half marathon race which I ran in Sept‘08. I also used this experience to raise money for an orphanage in Sri Lanka. My Meditation Journal is where I chronicle my thoughts and experiences with meditation. I hope that something here touches you and enriches your life. I learn best when I learn from others so all comments are welcome.

Greetings and salutations from a fellow marylander! I'm not sure how I even stumbled across your blog, but I'm glad I did. I have never blogged myself ,only because so much of what you come across is such a waste of time and energy. Your thoughts and comments are not! I'm impressed with your insight. You use this tool for good not evil and for that I commend you! I wish you luck in your fund raising efforts. Children are amazing! I recently returned to school for my second degree (nursing) and I think pediatrics may be my calling. So again good luck to you! Happy Thanksgiving and may you always find peace,love and understanding! Namaste :)---Michele
