Ah, the light of day and some sleep tempers the severe decree (ala high holy day liturgy, LoL).
i still felt everything that i had said, there were no half truths there, but i made a great day of it, got a lot done, enjoyed my kids and my friends, and thought seriously about the amount of control i had given yesterday's situation.
Today i am less angry and more disappointed; not in the resulting circumstance, but in the other person's allocation of their time and perhaps in the priority and place i have in their lives. Yes, i understand that life gets in the way of living sometimes and i'm sure i'm not the only disappointed one here... but i can only react for myself.
Today i am less resentful and more guilty. For my own selfish sake i didn't help a friend. This event didn't cause that, *i* did! It just put it in the spotlight for me. Ouch, ouch, that stings!
In the scheme of things the whole impact was inconvenience, disappointment and my own guilt. Best thing is - that i am forgiving myself and learning valuable lessons.
If you're wondering... i can't forgive them until i hear more from them. Priorities and the season being what it is, that has yet to happen.
