FROM THE COUNSELORS
Our core value this month is patience. Patience is waiting until later for what you want now. This can be hard! What is something you’re patiently waiting for? We've all learned a little bit about patience since this time last year when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Ok, a LOT about patience! There was a lot of waiting, mainly because there wasn’t really anything else to do! Waiting to go to the store, to go to a restaurant, to see our friends and family. But in that waiting, I’m willing to bet many of us discovered or rediscovered things to help us get through that time. It's definitely not the easiest skill to master, but if we can learn patience, we can develop resiliency for getting through difficult times in life.
“Time is the wisest counselor.”
