Dear Reader,
I was a grumpy girl the other day. I hadn't had enough sleep; things were busy at work; I was upset with someone. And when I went out to do a little shopping, the traffic was unbelievable.
I had an opinion about everything I saw and everyone I came into contact with. I didn't share my criticisms, but no doubt, anybody who stepped in my path picked up on my vibes and quickly headed the other way.
"Oh, what a stupid driver that woman is. Look at that idiot--he keeps speeding up and slowing down." I certainly wasn't any fun to be around, but I didn't realize just how obnoxious my behavior really was until I ran into "me" in the office supply store.
I was buying some computer labels and the clerk was being very helpful--making sure that I got the best discount they offered--but it was taking some extra time. Then my credit card wouldn't work in the chip machine, so my number had to be hand-keyed in, and all of this hoopla was driving the man behind me nuts. He was pacing, scowling, rolling his eyes, exhaling with that little emphasis that said, "Lady, you are a pain." He was acting like an ill-mannered fool. It was almost too much for me to take--even in my own cranky state. I thought about stepping aside and asking him if he would like to go ahead of me, because I could hardly stand it. What a negative person to be around.
And when I walked out the door, it dawned on me that I'd encountered myself.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
