Onward And Upward

Just about the only thing I miss about AOL was the ability to suck back emails that I sent to other AOL members if they had not been read yet.

I am an impulsive creature, writing what I’m thinking in the moment and then mailing it off, sometimes creating an instant foot in mouth syndrome that I regret. Not that I don’t mean what I write, just that I might not write it if I had taken the time to reconsider it.

Of course it only worked on AOL and I only know a couple of people who even still use that, so I should have a file called “pending more thought” where I store things for a while before sending them out.

Fortunately for me, most of the people I write to are very kind, taking what I say with an understanding of who I am and allowing some of the things I write to drift off into the wild blue yonder….where they belong by the way.

Not that this is any comfort after the fact. It’s just the simple truth and I go onward and upward vowing never to repeat that behavior again.

And I don’t. Until the next time.
