Old Age Day by Day March 15, 2013

I was just looking over a wedding album sent to me.  Such beautiful, joyful pictures.  They were married far away, but the photos bring me there, sharing the moment with them.  It's pretty amazing technology.  I just woke up from a nap.  I was so tired this afternoon, and I'd had an argument with a friend yesterday, and we tried to clarify things on the phone last night, and it was exhausting.  It will be okay in the long run, but it was draining.  It's a long time friendship so I'm hanging in there, and each time we misunderstand each other I learn a bit more about how we do and don't relate.  We are very different people, united by shared passions.  Our differences often get in our way.  By next week I'll be ready to take a walk again.  But honestly, I will be guarded, and there will be a list in my head of where not to go in subject matter and response.  She's fragile and I have more power than I want when I'm with her.  I need to hold back, and sponteniety is not wise.  But if my object is non-harming, then I must adjust for whomever I'm with, and be alert.  I need to remember that.
