This past week has once more been a good one. What constitutes a good week for me? As far as I am concerned it is when the positive aspects outnumber the less positive. This criteria is possibly applied by most people when assessing the type of week they have had. The possible variable is what each individual considers to be "good".
A good week for me, is one where I have managed, as far as I aware, not unreasonably, caused any offence to anyone with what I have said. I say unreasonably, as there are times when I consider that something has to be said, or a point made, which can upset the recipient, even though this is not the intention. I find that, increasingly, this is becoming an unfortunate aspect of my life.
What is the alternative? Not be true to how you feel or perceive things? I do not think so! That would be totally alien to me both the person I am now and also the person I have been all my adult life. I find it increasingly difficult to be diplomatic, as opposed to being direct and truthful about how I feel. Anything less than an open and direct approach, presents the risk of confusion and increased frustration.
There were a couple of incidents this week, when, as far as I am concerned, what I said was reasonable in the circumstances. One of the recipients no doubt will not think so and the other will probably not care or be too concerned.
On balance, a good week has been enjoyed.
