We’re so quick to judge, right? We think the world is against us…that every negative thing happens to us because the universe is plotting to make us as miserable as possible…but what if it wasn’t the universe? What if it was your neighbor, your co-worker, what if it was me?
I’m sorry I pissed you off…
I could have been the one going too slow in front of you on the highway today…I may have forgotten to use my blinker…I think I heard you honk, I may have seen a finger go up at me…
Or was I the one honking at you because you weren’t moving fast enough?
Perhaps I was the woman who rushed in front of you at the grocery store, sorry that made you mad.
Was I the one that pressed the wrong button on the elevator? We had to make 2 extra stops that day.
You were late to your appointment, weren’t you?
Was I the one that took too long talking to the guy at the toll booth?
Maybe I was the one that needed some extra time at the deli counter.
I’m sorry I pissed you off…
You see, I was busy, in my own mind.

| Waiting…. |
I was caught up in worry about my children…do you know how much I worry about them?
I was thinking about my job, and how if I don’t reach my goals I could potentially lose it…are you ever stressed about your job?
I was bringing a cup of coffee to a friend who was waiting for her husband to get out of surgery…I’m sorry if I seemed inpatient.
Or maybe it was the week I was waiting for my lab test results to come back, you know, the kind of results that could be life changing?
I was late for work.
I was lost.
I was trying to impress a client.
I’m sorry I pissed you off…
