Day 1 - Love Dare - Love is Patient

Dare:
Resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to your spouse at all.

Ooh boy. I read this and think, this is written for David, not for me. I am the picture of patience. Then I think, well, gosh, no, I'm not. I just don't show my impatience as much. Impatience is there rumbling under the surface. Plus, if you asked David he would probably say I'm not patient at all, especially when he's driving. We're taking Cassidy on a picnic today, which means driving and me playing with Cassidy while David sleeps in a chair. Oh, even that sounded impatient and negative - I'll have to repent of that already. I'll write later on how the day went.

Results:
It was tough, especially while we were driving. I had to bite my tongue and try not to hold on to the car door really noticably (something that drives David crazy). I did take notice of just how kind David can be. And today, because he ended up standing for a long period of time he was in a lot of pain. Yet, I didn't notice him being really short tempered. Perhaps it was because I was less irratable with him. Who knows. day 2 tomorrow, What is ahead for us?
