Patience and understanding

So, I am learning more and more about patience and understanding each day. Today, my honey had to switch some set plans on me, due to un upcoming gig that was scheduled, even though he had asked for that day off. At first, internally, I was frustrated that I would now have to fly out alone and that plans (especially since I am a Virgo) needed to be changed. But, I took a deep breath and put myself in his shoes. He was just as frustrated as I was, if not more so. I realized that if I got upset with him, I would only be adding to his stressed and he already felt so bad. Especially since it was not his fault. I said, "honey, we will work it out. I will get you the flight information so that you can change your plans. I will come back to the airport to get you and things will just work out." He was instantly relieved. I think he felt understood by me and that everything would just be okay. I was proud of myself, because I do have the tendency to freak out without thinking first. He has taught me that...to be patient and understanding. Moreso than I have ever been. I am a grateful girl.
