Don't anyone hold their breath.

I understand myself. Maybe too well. Allowing myself. To put up with many personal foibles. Merely because I understand. That I am imperfect. And so is everyone else.  So it's all right to be the imperfect and sometimes annoying me. I know plenty of annoying people. Even some of my best friends. And I put up with them.  So they might as well learn to put up with me. A case of tit for tat. Of course, I'm aware. That I will never overcome many of my foibles. Because I have no desire to. I'd have to be motivated. Maybe. Some day. I will. If I learn to cultivate the will. But hey, don't anyone hold their breath. --Jim Broede
