This weekend was another busy weekend – meetings, shopping, reading tarot, watching my boys level up in karate, and connecting with friends. Though it was packed full of activity, most of it was good.
It was wonderful to watch my boys show off their skill. I haven’t attended their grading class in quite a while. It was a wonderfully proud mama moment, in spite of getting up early all weekend!
I had a lovely long conversation over delicious hot chocolate with a new friend that I first connected with online. We shared on a level that is rare for new friendships.
There was one moment, though, that brought me some grief. I stopped in to visit a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time. I’d sent a couple of emails that didn’t get answered, so I was concerned for their health.
I was pleased to see my friend in the window as I arrived. I smiled and waved as I walked up to the door. The smile was not returned. When my friend opened the door, I was told that I was not welcome, and the door was closed.
I have to admit it stung. Quite a bit. I knew that this person had had a falling out with my husband. I didn’t know how upset they were, and that it extended to me. I guess a small part of me thought I might not be received with a warm welcome, given the silence over email. Part of me hoped that time had healed things between them.
All the way home, I repeated the ho’oponopono mantra – “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” Though my heart was heavy, and I shed a few tears, I sent love and healing and blessing to my now former friend. I sent gratitude for all the things they had taught me and shared with me.
I’m disappointed and sad over the loss. I really do hope they find the resolution and healing they are looking for. I will continue to send them blessings. And I will turn my mind to the joys of the weekend rather than the sorrows.
Blessings,
Mary
