The ups and downs of DBing

[Wendylon]

I just wanted to mention that the AA guy who toed my car when it broke down on Sunday was so kind that it gave me a taste of what it's like to be with someone who is not impatient or judgmental. It made me want to try to be more like him.

The AA guy tried to toe my car into a tight parking spot which didn't work very well as he was pushing my car I was steering and it was really heavy. He got out of his truck and checked the position of my car and just said in a really friendly way: we'll try that again. I knew it was my bad timing and steering that had caused the problem but he wasn't in the slightest bit blaming. It was an amazing feeling to be on the receiving end of such non-judgmentalness.

H did something really ditzy yesterday (got the handyman who came to the house to screw something in completely the wrong place). I thought of the AA guy and just asked the handyman to change it without drawing the whole incident to H's attention. H won't even notice. H does do the best he can just as I was reverse parking while being pushed to the best of my ability.

Sometimes I can see that we are all just doing our best given who we are. Other times, I wish people around me, H in particular, were different.
