Flybye and Tuckervill both reminded me of a spiritual perspective on this.

Scripture calls on me to be full of "truth and grace"...and, if you're full of both, they're in balance.

Truth = telling her that I feel what she did was inappropriate

Grace = forgiving her for what she's done

To maintain them in balance means that I can tell her the truth as long as it is not in a destructive, self-servicing, way. Scripture also says: "In your anger, don't sin".

I think I'll let time pass...and then write her a brief note that is direct, polite and forgiving.

Sorry to preach, but I think this perspective forms the basis for resolving my dilemna...plus Silver is also feeling better...
Hmmmm....... class act is so right! You are both great examples of mankind. You know what scripture says...... "Well done good and faithful servant(s)...." You both stand out because that's also what scripture refers to as being lights in the dark!


Just so you know, your list:

* Honor God
* Cherish My Family
* To be a conscientious employee
* Constantly Seek to Improve my body and mind (this one is the challenge)
* To Love Others DESPITE CONFLICT

is a challenge to me as well. I so often have my own list until it get rearranged! The hardest for me is *To Love Others DESPITE CONFLICT especially my dear hubby! Man, how I hate conflict, and man, how I like to win if faced with conflict. I don't want to win the battle to lose the war!

You both are a class act!
