Even the most eloquent, compassionate person can get caught up in a moment and say the wrong thing.<BR/><BR/>It IS about being human, Rick, and I think that more sensitive we usually are to people's feelings and reactions, the worse it feels when we misfire. We have to believe that we've done all we can to put the damage right, but we also need to show ourselves some compassion, too.<BR/><BR/>We are NOT perfect!Desert Songbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320552900816326120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-44975279276850518932009-02-19T05:58:00.000-08:002009-02-19T05:58:00.000-08:00we all have those moments. own those feelings and ...we all have those moments. own those feelings and do it different the next time the situation pops up again.<BR/><BR/>It's all a part of life, hon...Big hugs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-77045443829409908922009-02-19T05:49:00.000-08:002009-02-19T05:49:00.000-08:00I am the queen of "open mouth insert foot" On my w...I am the queen of "open mouth insert foot" On my wedding rehearsal night I told my maid of honor that her boyfriend was a loser, and then on my wedding day I had to deal with him all day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-17851213184029370442009-02-19T05:36:00.000-08:002009-02-19T05:36:00.000-08:00I think it's called "Being Human". :) I'm sorry t...I think it's called "Being Human". :) I'm sorry that you lost a friend over it though.<BR/><BR/>And also-you're so not stupid!!!!Maggie Moohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924053807057800082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-50007893287544873152009-02-19T03:59:00.000-08:002009-02-19T03:59:00.000-08:00Hah!
