Yesterday evening, I was sitting in a restaurant with some friends. The tables were set closely together; it was one of those venues characterized as “cozy.” And it was cozy, but the decor was lovely, and the food was amazing.
Coziness is usually fine. A-OK. No prob. Last night, however, the woman sitting next to me was complaining, very loudly, about a coworker. Apparently, her coworker has a health issue whereby she misses work occasionally, but repeatedly. This coworker seems to be absent from work every other Monday. The woman sitting next to me was deeply offended by this. Oh, she ranted and raved! She explained to her companion that she has a somewhat similar health issue, but she doesn’t miss work that often! How dare this coworker take so many three-day weekends?
I have to stop this blog post right here, because this week I’m having another flare-up of health issues.
So sorry Liza, take care wishing you quick relief and recovery 🤗❣
Loving your post on compassion so far,was thinking about that today in regards to some difficult personal relationships.
With prayer and meditation realized compassion was needed all around…… for them and for me……
Wish it was a lesson easily implemented…..
Have to keep reminding myself but hey progress not perfection😎
Best wishes, Laura
Lots of wisdom here in your words, Laura …. Thanks for all this inspiration. And love to you.
Hang in there, Liza. One day at a time. You’ll get to the other side of this. Just be compassionate and loving to yourself right now. Hugs to you. Jean
Hugs back!
Hi Liza,
I was just getting into your blog. It’s a topic that certainly needs more awareness and discussion. Not sure of the issue, but I hope you’re feeling better! (I hate excessively loud people in restaurants, gyms or anywhere else. So rude.)
Thanks, Ross!! Peace to you.
Hang in there and I hope you feel better. Thanks for the timely post – the world is a kinder place with a little compassion and it doesn’t hurt to occasionally put yourself in other’s shoes
Yeah. Thanks. Peace.
Love from Wisco, Liza.
ERICA!!!!! Love to Wisco………. MISS YOU <3
