If only I could have a rewind button!! So many times in my life not to mention in a day, I wish I could just stop and rewind back a few minutes. Like the times I go to say good bye or hello to someone and go in for the hug. In my defense it is out of habit that I hug when I greet but still there are those people I don"t know well enough to hug but end up hugging anyway. It is so awkward!!! Or when I am getting off the phone with a customer service or front desk personal and tell them "I love you". Then there is that pregnant silence on the other line. So I just end with Uhhh.... click.
But then there are the times that really matter and I say or act a way that I don't really want too. I need a buffer minute, a wrinkle in time that allows me to recognize what I am doing and take it back before it has entered space and effected someone. Because many times I end up continuing down the path of regretful behavior until it is too late to brush it off.
When it absolutely comes down to it. It is the relationship and the other person that matter far greater than my initial reaction. So, if I can some how install a regret preventor device I could by pass these entirely painful experiences. I will put out a want ad!!
