Psalm 37:1-18 At noon today, take 2 minutes and “wait for the Lord:”

First off - I FINALLY ATE A FIG NEWTON! Two, in fact. This AM I went to Wawa for breakfast and was able to get a pack. I felt so much better to have been caught up.....
.....so on to TODAY! Man, this Psalm is a good one. And the prompt to take a pause at ANY time during a day (Noon or otherwise) is a good one. Taking a short break to take a breath and relax and center oneself is a necessity. My work project has had a busy few weeks, and, at Noon (well, 12:15 to be honest), I had just returned to my office after a presentation to a bunch of colleagues (the second in two days). It was good to close my eyes, take a breath....and center.
BUT, what I really need to take forward from this Psalm is this poignant verse:
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath.
Do not fret—it leads only to evil.
Less anger and wrath = GOOD!
