MISTAKE
It was the wrong thing to say ….
But….
Nope, it was the wrong thing to say….
I feel so stupid, so dumb….
Nope, I won’t say next time ….
But….
I’ll ask, “What is the lesson here?
What’s the learning here?
My buttons? My inability to walk away?
It’s also forgiveness … starting with the other….
Then it’s forgiveness - forgiving myself….
It’s understanding: we all make mistakes.
