Apologies/Parasailing…
Yesterday I had a phone conversation with a friend in the morning, it caught me off guard and in the middle of my morning grind at work. We hadn't chatted in awhile so I wanted to chat, but at the same time I didn't because I had a ton of items on my plate.
My attitude came off as "i dont care about you right now" Instead of going the easy route and more polite route of asking if I can call back a few hours later when I am not so busy, I remained on the line giving one-line answers, not asking questions and asking myself when will I be off the phone…
This stirred in my head all day, it wasn't at the front, but close enough that it constantly bothered me…
I almost went to sleep without resolving it, but I broke down my stubborness and called with a simple apology, that my attitude didn't reflect my views of my friend, but rather I should've asked to call back at a better time. Nothing huge, but admitting I was wrong. That was the hard part.
THe next event that happened was very strange. My mind/mood took a turn and felt as if I had just been lifted off the beach on a running parasail start. Once the boat hits its speed it is a quick reverse parabolic move up to the peak… It was a great feeling, almost wanting to call the person back thanking them… But alas, it was time for be for both of us…
