Another year. Another year older. Another year wiser.
For me, after a disastrous Christmas, it's good to welcome a new year.
I pray that I have the discipline and wherewithal and the inner tools to wait before responding and acting.
Last year, a woman irked me in the airport. I wanted to give her the side eye and an eye roll.
But I resisted.
About a week later, she sought me out for an assist with something. I was glad to help and, working with her, I realized how kind and resourceful she is.
I liked her.
And she liked me.
She invited me to a function that I would have never been invited to. I went and had a ball. She treated me like I was royalty.
I'm glad I resisted the urge to be unkind. Why? Because being civil brought me a new friend and valuable contact.
And that makes me happy!
