They got my name backward! And…. I can raise hell, crab and bitch. But….I cannot change it… my only choice is how I react. It is the only thing I have control over. For a control freak…I tend to hold on to that one with absolute, intense sincerity! So the question always becomes, when to let go and when to stand up or enforce my boundaries. For all of the years I have donated and taught there at Casselberry, I thought they would know my name…so I think my feelings should be really hurt and a bit more offended than regular! But what does it get me? They will not reprint the poster. I think what I have learned is that my expectations of having a little more attention in exchange for the time I have given them did not exist. And NO, it does not work like that. The lesson is…if I donate something even my time, I cannot expect anything in return. It was my decision to donate. The joy has to be in the act of giving, NOT in expected returns. And the reality is…the font is so small, I bet I am the only one that noticed!
...until I pointed it out!
