One learns valuable life lessons as she proceeds through life. There is a time to voice one’s opinion and there is a time to hold one’s tongue. Through the years I have learned this in differing capacities but I have never had to do it with those closest to me. I thought that somehow those closest to us accepted us with our flaws and knew that there were differences of opinion occasionally and that was okay. I have learned otherwise. Evidently differences of opinions can shatter worlds and make things difficult when they shouldn’t and need not be. Sometimes these lessons come free of charge and sometimes there is a cost. Today there is a cost. Today I have to rectify stating my opinion about something. Evidently that information got misconstrued and now I have to try to straighten things out. Easier to hold my tongue next time. And so I shall.
