.......I heard the weather report for the next couple days......"VERY HUMID,HIGH ON SATURDAY,NEAR 90"...........SO:I'm feelin kinda spunky again,and I'M HITTIN THE H2O,TOMORROW!!!....I had originally planned on going home,a week from tomorrow,Friday before Labor DAY-BUT-
Iv'e been doin some THINKIN',and.....Labor Day,traditionally the last day of summer madness,AND the NEXT DAY,most of the folks gone back to school,and work-ALLthem beaches bare naked- I just might wait,until the NEXT weekend,to load up the mules,and head over the pass toward home....in other news,my middle older sister,said she was sorry,for what our oldest,and youngest sister;said to me,to upset me,so much....I was just thinking:WHY,is it so hard-at least for ME-to apologize,to defuse a situation,even if one,in my opinion,is not needed??PRIDE??Truthfully;in my opinion,my 2 sisters went WAY,WAY overboard,in getting SO bent out of shape,over a simple mistake...AND,the more I tried to explain it-EVEN though,the answer was the truth-the WORSE I made it,and ONE simple thing,has made it all better:"I'M SORRY,I MADE A MISTAKE"....Let me tell you all,brothers and sisters:It was VERY hard for me;to take my lumps,and then;issue an apology,in the face of such cruel,nasty words from family members.......This situation,reminds me of when Jesus was asked,"How many times should I forgive my brother??SEVEN???"and Jesus' answer,basically:"AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES"......HOW MANY divorces,wars,murders,etc,would NOT have been committed,if a heartfelt apology had been issued,EVEN THOUGH,a person had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR??AMAZING;just how much power,is contained in them little words...Steve...
