Ugh. Sometimes I hear hornets buzzing and just wander right in to the nest.
On the plus side, its probably a good thing that I've spent so much time not having toxic relationships I'd forgotten the fear dynamic.
On the negative side, I'm sometimes a little too reckless and chose to ignore my instinct.
Overall an unfortunate thing happened, I see my part in it, don't feel guilty but will consider in future whether or not its a battle worth fighting to begin with.
Who knows, maybe such a minor skirmish now is a valuable lesson to avoid/ better handle future ones of more important consequences.
Thanks for listening.
Thanks for sharing a4l. Alway good when progress comes from missteps. Sorry you experienced some sort of unfortunate fallout. We all make these missteps but it's great when we experience a growth spurt from those lessons.
Cute new avatar by the way. Are you trying to say you think you're a little batty but can still fly? ha ha Happy Friday! ((hugs))) TT

Your share reminded me that when I keep an open mind, there are lessons each day, all day and I certainly learn 'more' when I am directly affected...
Keep working it girl - it looks good on you! (((Hugs)))

Lol now that you mention it TT....why, yes! Only I'm actually no longer sure if its a bat or a marsupial possum. It was a fb stoush I walked right into. Should have seen the signs. Ah well. Live and learn again and again, will remember the pothole in the road story. Love to all.
