"If...."

"If you can keep your head when all about you

   Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

   But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,..."

     In my travels over the years I witnessed much impatience. Travelers frustrated and irate about something not meeting their approval. It seems such a waste of energy.  Today's installation of the new furnace didn't go as planned. Essentially a service person's error. He worked hard to correct the situation, was apologetic and promised to return tomorrow to fix it. There is heat tonight. Not hard to be patient!

   I'd rather focus on the blessing of 60 degree weather when a furnace is being installed. There is so much to be thankful for which includes the resources to pay for a new furnace. In the grand scheme of things a bit of delay will not matter.
