Yesterday, I was told that I had
offended a dear friend by sending
a short, somewhat flippant reply
in a group e-mail. An action that
is beyond heartbreak . . . and I
simply cannot forgive myself!
Surely, I'm not seeking perfection
in my old age, although I've been
told that I do indeed have this bent.
But, it hurts down deep in my soul
that at 72 I'm still not getting it right.
You'd think at my age, adding in my
intentions, I'd be doing a better job
of it by now. God in heaven, I am
wracked with grief by the entire
incident.
I hark back to those old adages,
"Think before you speak!" . . .
and a newer one, "Words have
power to heal. Words have power
to kill." ~Anna Maledon
Here's hoping I've learned a very
important lesson here . . .
my thoughts words and tears
so many lessons to learn
pray pay attention
