I’m wrong… a lot

My near and dear just died from shock at that title. If you ask those who know me well personally, they will tell you that one of my least favourite things is ‘being wrong’. In fact, few of them have ever witnessed me admit an error or mistake. But, despite my utter distaste for the experience, I am wrong… a lot. We all are.

• When I walk in a room I am sure everybody is noticing the flaws in my figure… I’m wrong
• When I think I can’t take it any more… I’m wrong
• When I think people care about when the last time I mopped the floor was… I’m wrong
• When I think I have nothing intelligent to say… I’m wrong
• When I think I simply must do everything… I’m wrong
• When I think the world will stop turning if I take a break, put my feet up and have a cup of tea… I’m wrong
• When I think feeding people will cure their ills… I’m wrong (but at least they are fed)
• When I think it matters if my son’s shirt matches his pants… I’m wrong
• When I think I have remembered everything… I’m wrong
• When I think I can be calm when we get lost en route to a new destination… I’m wrong
• When I think I can please everybody… I’m wrong
• When I think no one is listening… I’m wrong
• When I think I understand… I’m wrong
• When I think there are enough hours in a day (I am writing this at 12.01am)… I’m wrong
• When I am convinced I am not good enough… I’m wrong
• When I think raising my voice helps… I’m wrong
• When I think I suck at learning languages… I’m wrong
• When I think something is more important than responding to a call for “Mumee!”… I’m wrong
• When I think change is an external process… I’m wrong
• When I think I don’t have time to meditate… I’m wrong
• When I think I should feel guilty for eating chocolate… I’m wrong. Very wrong.

Care to share what you are wrong about?

   Wow this is a huge list of things you’re wrong about.

   When I think things are impossible – I’m wrong.
   When I think there is nothing fun happening in my life – I’m wrong.
   When I think that I can’t try any harder – I’m wrong.
   When I think I can’t love someone anymore than I already do – I’m wrong.

   I love the things you are wrong about. Especially the ‘fun’ – bring on the silly season!
   As for my list, as I said I am wrong a whole lot! That isn’t even all of the things I am wrong about either… there are plenty more.
   When I think I am unappreciated… I am dead wrong
   When I think simple acts of kindness don’t matter… I’m wrong
   When I think my heart will burst… I’m wrong (it just grows)
   When I think I am not patient… I’m wrong
