Friendly conversation is even better, if the person is receptive to it. I appreciate your comments and will keep them in mind the next time a situation arises.Patricia Ellis Herr, Alexandra Herr, and Sage Herrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077445974909636411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109746923888360185.post-58120388995227298462013-06-08T14:26:28.705-04:002013-06-08T14:26:28.705-04:00Great post Trish.

You were certainly harder on yourself, as we all all, after an outburst like that, even a minor one.

Being in the present moment, taking a moment to calm my breathe, telling the person I'd appreciate it if I could get by, and also complimenting her on something she's wearing. It works every time. No need to think about what it is the other person is going through. Move past. Let it go. Onto the next moment. It takes practice. Oh, and sometimes I even stop to have a brief and friendly conversation with the person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109746923888360185.post-90094343195258749172013-06-08T09:05:52.128-04:002013-06-08T09:05:52.128-04:00YES - I fully feel with you on your instant reacti...YES - I fully feel with you on your instant reaction, Trisha! It happens. The woman in tour story was probably already in a bad mood, so her reaction was, in a way, normal for her. What shocked you, was your reaction, because it was so out of balance with your actual state of mind! It happens to me, quite frequently and after, I say " why on earth did I react like that"? But it happens!Anne Kreupelingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109746923888360185.post-41139848001800191982013-06-08T07:46:43.657-04:002013-06-08T07:46:43.657-04:00this is great! thanksthis is great! thanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440688295651601719noreply@blogger.com
