This is the results from last nights encounter at work. I pulled her off to the side to apologize and she accepted my apology. I told her I would do better to share more of the information with her and try not to do that to her again. What I learned from all this is how this forum really helped me keep it in perspective. I usually react with a lot of emotion and it always goes bad for me. This time I kept my cool and did not push the issue when she was clearly mad at me. We had 2 days to calm down and I saw my mistake and I feel like a better person for having resolved it in this manner.
This then translates very well to my kung fu. Patience is very important when it come to the overall view of our training. Had I not remained calm this could have blown up like it usually does for me. Not this time though. I stayed focused put the issues out there. Saw my participation in the argument and determined the steps needed to resolve the matter.
I usually spend days with an upset stomach when I have an altercation like this and beat myself up pretty good on my part in these situations however this time I am fine. Thank you one and all for letting me vent my feelings in this manner. I have truly grown this weekend for the better and I owe it all to blogging.
