The true meaning of patience

I feel privy now, to the true meaning of patience. I consider myself a very patient person in general-with many years of conscious practice to achieve this state. But now patience is a whole different thing...its not about the kids, or other people, or the person driving in front of me-its about ME...my BODY. It always seems there is something to "do" about "being patient", using the power of your mind. But now i have a physical situation that I cannot change with mere thoughts and focus. I must surrender and BE PATIENCE with my body and its temporary limitations. It has given me the beautiful opportunity to LOVE ME exactly as I am...NO EXCUSES>I JUST AM like this in this moment. No blame, no other way around it. All=patience.
 So I head back over to my mat, and lovingly tilt my head as far as IT wants to go today...breathe deep...and TRUST that someday soon it will go all the way :)
