Last night at church we started a series on relationships and our homework was to think of a relationship that needed a little attention, it could be family, work, neighbours or anyone else. In the coming week we are to show some love to this person in some small way. My choice for this project was Plant Lady. For about six months I have not even had a conversation with this person in my workplace, we politely say "good morning" and "goodnight" and that about covers it. I don't like having that kind of R with someone in my workplace so I decided that I would put forward the olive branch. Something told me that if I reached out this time she would be receptive. So, today I decided I would drop by her office and start a conversation. After passing by about four times this morning I decided to bite the bullet and break the ice. Well, I couldn't get out of her office! After exchanging greetings etc she wanted to go over a case with me. It was so weird! Tonight when she left, I was standing in the hall talking with a co-worker and she smiled and waved calling out goodnight to me. Strange stuff. I guess she was relieved that the Cold War had ended. I am too, I'm not someone who holds grudges and ignores people but she just made it so damn tempting! So, there is one small R that is in better shape thanks to taking a chance. It's called "doing something different". It's a nice feeling.
