Temper ! Temper ! Temper ! 

Gosh how long has it been since we have heard those words?

I must make a confession.  I lost my  temper this past week.

There are many definitions of temper.  I like one particular

definition I will say that describes my " losing it."  

My dictionary calls it; "calm disposition."  I like that one, I think

I will let that be my definition.  Doesn't  it sound more lady like?

When growing up I always heard that red headed people had

tempers.  My brother is a red head.  He never loses it.  I mean

he doesn't scream or hit anybody.  Me?  I am not a red head but

I wanted to 'gasp:::: Lord, forgive me,' slap my computer. It

would have hurt me worse.  Oh, but I nearly did do it in one day,

by accident.  I had my ear phones plugged in, and I had them

around my neck, got up out of my chair to check on something

I had on the stove, and 'oops' [ I hate that word, lol] my computer

started with me.  Whewww, thank you Lord, it didn't come of the

desk. 

I found patience was not my virtue.  Proverbs talk about the

'virtuous woman.'  That wasn't me.  I wonder how many others

were tested this past two weeks.  God bless two faithful friends

they hung in there with' faith believing' all would be well.

I like hanging with people like that.  But, I was a grouch.  

Yes, the definition of 'temper' is losing ones 'calm disposition.'

Yea !!!!!   I  found mine, it wasn't lost after all, it was under all

those OOPS pages.  LOL....Thank you AARP.
