Today's pet peeve: people who promise to do things and don't keep their promise. In spite of being reminded. In spite of causing a little old lady (namely my Mom) some physical discomfort. For a month. Geez - gimme a break. She's 89 and cannot do for herself (or believe me - she would). In cases like this I can only tell myself what goes around comes around. Then I take a deep calming breath and make a martini.
Welcome to my life. I quilt, I garden, I cook. Sometimes I read. You may hear the occasional complaint.

Wood, Bad Quilt & Batik Quilt

I'm with you on the broken promises pet-peeve. Lip service just chaps my hide. Hopefully you will be there to witness the "coming around" for the empty-promise maker. (snicker)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing talent and gift you have! I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your mom too. It's too bad our lives don't begin for us all with a compulsory month of being elderly. Wouldn't we all have compassion and empathy built into our characters then! God bless your mom with something special to make up for it.
