So how I am reading this, is it takes a lot of effort up front to ride a bike, but once you’ve mastered it you never forget how. So if you take the effort to master toleration, the rest is easy, right? Either that, or I’m overthinking it, ha! Have a great weekend Gail!

I think for me, tolerance is never really ‘gained’. It’s alter ego intolerance, creeps up on me in unexpected moments and needs vigilance to be kept at bay.

Hmmm. Interesting perspective. I think we’re all a little guilty of both. Thanks for your honesty, Robyn. 🦋
