Offering, on the spur of the moment to go take care of grandkids so mom could get away ... that's a promise that many no longer bother to make. You made the important promise, showing up 15 minutes late, my dear, is not a tragedy. The fact is you still manage a willing heart even with a busy life ... what will be remembered is that you were there, not that you were there fifteen minutes late. There are many tragedies in life, kiddo, this isn't one of them.

Though not bent the sam...My heart goes out to you!<br /><br />Though not bent the same way, I sympathized completely with your choosing to ignore a call as a way of being 100% present in the current moment and conversation, then later discovering the whirlwind.<br /><br />I've had a major life change in the last 3 years, since my mother moved closer to me and leukemia has come onto our radar screen. There is just too much to pay attention to at times (not all the time, but at certain points). My head spins and a floating anxiety rides in my passenger's seat. (And that is not to complain about either situation that God has allowed. I think I'm well-equipped and well-placed.)<br /><br />"We are all doing the best we can" is something I've had to say to myself more times than I can count. AND......to learn to forgive myself. NOT EASY.<br /><br />No advice. Just sympathy.<br />I DO think it is good to acknowledge how you are wired. I also think the person who knows they can't possibly hit all the marks just right has a big advantage over someone thinking they can.Marilyn Yocumhttp://www.asgoodadayasany.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30458926.post-9371978551561635372011-02-18T09:17:09.785-05:002011-02-18T09:17:09.785-05:00I am amazed at how similar you are to me?

You had given someone else grace in the words, "We are all just doing our best." That's so true. It helped me to hear them last night.
