i have screwed up so many little things lately. dont care too much unless it involves other people and usually it does.
the other day this very midwestern, middle aged couple asked for directions to 30th st. pretty simple, considering we were on R st about 100 yds from corner of 30th. or so i thought. idiota sent them the opposite direction toward 29th. but they would figure it out until they had walked about a 1/2mile.
man, i felt so bad. got to keep my mouth shut when people ask questions about direction in this town.
when i made it to 30th in the other direction, i just prayed that they would have a special adventure cause i am so retarded. maybe run into someone or something they would not have ordinarily seen. you never know! it could happen.
surely wont fix all my errors, but i decided just to pray for the poor people that fall victim to my stupid brain ways. at the very least they are getting extra prayers.
i guess i thought getting older would have the perk of screwing up less and relaxing more. actually i just feel more strongly about it and have a harder time moving on. yuck.
getting sick again, dang it. this week is going to be hard and i need to have some patience, if only a tiny bit. next week is the homestretch of a very sweet visit to the motherland. pray i make it in one piece.
check out my wild animals. mari managed to catch them mid stride at rock creek on saturday. think it might have been our last summery day. was great. she and i managed to have a real saturday too. complete with costco, marshalls, random fast pasta with squash and dancing with Janet and company. now that is a saturday!
That pic is priceless... I love your babies!! Man, I feel you on some of that stuff. I managed to open my mouth yesterday and hurt someone I love by speaking without thinking.
ReplyDeleteI guess we just have to learn from it and move forward. It's hard though because I'd really like to be perfect and/or perfectly patient.
