Last night I said something to my mother which upset her. I was only joking but she took it the wrong way and the next thing I knew I was being given the cold shoulder treatment. I asked Love to dissolve the atmosphere. I sensed she was still upset when I went to bed.
While I was in the bathroom this morning, I could still feel my mother was closed off even though I hadn't spoken to her. I understand how people can shut down when they are upset. There have been times when I have withdrawn emotionally from the other when my feelings have been hurt.
Now I had a choice. I could let this "atmosphere" be projected into the whole day and the next or I could nip it in the bud immediately. When my mother came out of her bedroom, I cornered her and told her I was sorry for offending her. She accepted my apology.
Who cares who said or did what, just cut to the chase and love now.
