I did a horrible thing this morning. While trying to get a parking space at the VA, I was waiting for a truck to back out, I had my blinker on, I was first on the scene and yet the truck let another car have the spot. I had flashbacks of Fried Green Tomatoes, I tell you! I rolled down my window and gave the young man a talking to that included two name-calling events. Impotent anger can take the top of your head right off, I just found out! He just shrugged and went his way. When I was finished taking Gerald to the audiologist, I stopped back by the car and left an apology under the wiper blade. After all, Practice Happiness! isnt about never feeling anger or never doing the wrong thing. Its about speeding up the recovery process once something has happened, taking responsibility and finding a way to set things right, if possible, or to forgive yourself if thats the only thing left. It appears that Im not as nice as I used to be. But I can still get there from here.
