pin cushion
Earlier tonight Janie tried to eat my pin cushion. Smart.
I really don't like being disappointed in people. Or even liking listening to people enough to feel disappointment when they let me down.
It's inevitable, I guess. People will all eventually let you down, and you will let them down, and the domino effect remains. I suppose it's really how you handle things from then on, with that new reality in front of you, that matters.
Like most men that survive testicular cancer are so thankful with every erection they are able to get thereafter... instead of just the scratch and adjust it received on a regular basis before.
Still... I always worry that by forgiving people so easily that I am just letting them off the hook too easily and setting myself up for an even bigger problem in the future.
Is that a chance you always have to take? Or for once could someone understand what kind of gift I am giving them by being able to forgive and forget like I do - and not use it as a 'hee, what a sucker' situation?
