Just when I thought your words couldn't be anymore supportive and beautiful I was proven wrong. Thank you so much Eudora, Sandra and Bridget. Spencer, your insight is incredible. You are so right, it is how you act when you think no one is looking that matters. We had a sermon at church about this. It makes you think....

Things are better and I am getting over it. I have been able to joke about "that woman" but I still have the whole image of every second replaying in my head. Sometimes I just flinch and I dwell on it again. I try not to think badly of that woman but it's hard. Something my husband told me a few years ago just echos in my head and really helps me deal with people on a daily basis....

You know when you are driving and someone cuts you off on accident or does something stupid and it upsets you...well, he told me that maybe you just caught them on a bad day. Maybe they are very compitent people and just made a mistake that you happen to see. You can call them names and get upset but you have only encountered them for that moment in time. So, don't judge people for things like that. We all make mistakes.

I am applying this thought to what happened Thursday. She and I encountered each other at a very bad moment in time. I won't judge her and she shouldn't have judged me. It was traumatic for both of us.... end of story.

Thanks for being supportive. I think of this board as a big part of my life and you all make it a much happier place. I enjoy your insight and advice and I truly believe that you have all contributed to me trying to be a better person. It seems like I have some pretty big shoes to follow in
