September 6, 2006Earning Pippi Every Day
I love my Pippi. She is much larger than I imagined (even though you described her accurately). I’ve got her on my desk at home right between my monitor and my photograph of my adorable grandbaby.
I have to confess that the other night after a heated discussion with my husband, I was trying to blow off some steam at my desk. I stared at my screen for awhile, then realized I was looking my Pippi right in the eye. While arguing with my husband, I hadn’t said what I meant, I hadn’t meant what I said and I was sort of mean when I said it. So first I apologized to my Pippi and then went out and asked my husband for another chance to communicate my feelings. He was surprised that I came back out after only a little while, but we were both surprised to find that rather than disagreeing, we AGREED on what we were discussing. We just didn’t communicate our feelings accurately.
Guess what I learned: This Pippi ain’t a one-time deal. I think I’ll have to earn her everyday.
