A quick hitter this evening. Has been a long day and I have very little on my mind. Had one incident that I need to work better on dealing with.
We went out to dinner on Saturday night. There was an option for a 4 course meal that looked very good. Neither my wife or my father in law were that hungry so they weren’t going to get it. After asking about timing of meals I was basically ‘guilted’ into changing to a more traditional order.
And that bothered me.
That I needed to be the one to bend my will and not the other way around. I was hungry.
It took me a while, and that bothers me now. It bothered me that it bothered me (the old ‘second arrow’) and once I realized that I was slowly able to let it go. I’m sure it affected my interaction with the evening (embarrassingly) so that’s something to work on later.
