Be Prepared For The Unexpected
Of course, it is impossible to anticipate surprises. I mean the real curve balls. I mean like having a person I've edited from my life show up in my yoga class, who took two busses to get there, and didn't know I would be there (I've not been going for a long time). I'm just glad I had worked through my anger before running right into him. I live in a city of nearly 3 million people. This guy lives 20 miles away, and doesn't drive. My yoga class is 10 miles from me, and must be 25 miles from him. What are the chances of this happening? Astronomical, right? But it did.
It went fine, and being kindhearted, I offered him a ride home. We stopped and ate dinner, too. I did tell him that a note from him explaining what was going on, would have been favorable to just disappearing and not returning my calls or email. I mean, even though he was going through a physical challenge (as I found out Tuesday night), he was still going to work nearly every day. An email was possible.
But since then, I haven't been excited to rediscover him in my life. I really did edit him out, and now, if he makes some effort, I could reincorporate him. But I've moved on without him. It's a trust thing.
