Feeling Foolish


A Dandelion seed-head

Perhaps I can blame getting older?  Or maybe I’m suffering from Grandma-itis?  Or the malady of forgot-to-screw-your-head-on-the-right-way?  Whatever the cause, I still feel so stupid turning up for an all-day class on the wrong day!  Right place, right time, just the wrong day.  Duh!
After waiting a suitable period of time I had returned home to check the details of the event.  I was ready to do battle to get my deposit back, but instead had to face the very humbling experience of finding it was me in the wrong.  I had entered it into my phone calendar on the wrong day – it should have been Sunday not Saturday.  I normally check my emails every day but didn’t do so yesterday.  If I had I would have received the reminder email sent out by the organisers and that would have made me look closer as it talked about Sunday.  Oh dear. 

Even though I may have some Senior Moments, I can have some Junior Moments too.  The odd yellow dandelion flower is popping up in the lawn and cheering the day up with its bright colour.  I love seeking out the seed-heads and blowing all the "fairies" away to bless other places.  I've enjoyed doing that for as long as I can remember.

Cheers,
Margaret

  2. I think that could happen to me too :D I also think it is important that we take care of the childlike joy like the one with dandelion "fairies". I have been jumping around from blog to blog today, and found your blog interesting.
