I am guilty. I am an impatient person. Or let me put it positively, I have a very thin threshold of patience. I can fly off the handle at whim. And, yes, I would love to blame it on PMS. Age is a bitch! I want to comfort myself thinking that I am more sensible to recognize a PMS when I have one. Only that I am ALWAYS in a perpetual state of PMS!!!
The bottom line is I am cribby, crabby and grouchy.
And yes, my kids are at the receiving end many a times which I get off thinking it is all about the rights of being a parent!
I said I am guilty. And, believe me when I say I am trying.
When some one hurts me and says sorry, I really hold no grudges. I forgive easily but, not easy to forget though I try not to remember. If they want to make amends...I am open for it.
If saying 'sorry' helps maintain peace...why not give it a try. One does not become small by saying 'sorry'...it is not a win or lose situation.

I don't think you are alone in being impatient. A lot of us are and PMS has little to do with it. Great post.

Thanks Kathy.
DeleteSounds good to me :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm all about forgiving and I am not a grudge holder, I am, however, one to learn from the past. So if we have an issue, we each apologize and agree to move forward, I am going to do that. Move forward and put the problem behind us, but if I am alone, the friendship is over. If you can't forgive or let it go, it'll always be there. Friendship can't survive that.
ReplyDeleteWell said Jo. Thank you.
DeleteSaying sorry saves the day. Lovely post
ReplyDeleteThanks Sulekha.
DeleteYou are not the only one!! Even am always stuck in that perpetual state of grumpiness and crankiness. PMS - Perpetually Moody Syndrome!!
ReplyDeleteEven I don't hold grudges over things that go wrong and I tend to forgive people easily but forgetting their mistakes doesn't come very easily to me, I tend to remember every single mistake anybody ever did :\
Thanks for sharing Swarnali.
DeleteI do forgive quickly. I don't hold a grudge-- but I also don't forget. I don't allow myself to be burned too many times.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Jenn.
