That wasny my ...You mean like how I just did there? That wasny my intention, to shake out apology from anyone! I think she was already hurt, and it was, I've always felt, one of those moments that helped me become an adult. It was exciting to make changes. And we are a human organization. The Church, the parish, the committee, all of us. I was more just filled with that autumnal melancholy that visits every October. And realized that what I had predicted hadn't happened after all. You weren't fly by night, you stayed ten more years and changed our parish culture for the better. AND. It's happening again. I'm withdrawing from all of that. And as I'm replaced, I am working hard to be excited by new beauty and enthusiasm. Because I'm leaving only because I'm drowning in my own life responsibilities. And because there are people (Joe, etc) who are in different stages of life from where I am and therefore have more headspace and energy to keep the church beautiful. I'm trying to take Benedict XVI's example (whoa did I say that? Somebody shake me) and leave when its time and do it right. <br /><br />But I'm not leaving. I'm simply enjoying more. I promise never to throw a fit over an altar cloth. Change is as natural to life as breath.Sally Bridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888582125823088850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448610727525586046.post-17925664592597422982015-10-02T21:14:06.330-07:002015-10-02T21:14:06.330-07:00Most times, we don't know the hurt we cause. ...Most times, we don't know the hurt we cause.
