Making Mistakes 06/20/2011
 
It was one of those days. Grrr!! I just couldn't get it right. What a crummy feeling it is to screw up. The really hard part is to let go and move past it. I don't like making excuses. It doesn't help. It actually makes things worse. I find it's best to fix the mess the best you can, if there's an opportunity to do so, and then try to quickly eat the crow and get on with your day. But darn if it isn't still eating me tonight. So, I found these quotes hoping to sooth my battered ego. It helped a tiny bit, but time will have to do the rest. I'm grateful to work with someone who has patience with me.
