I feel really bad as I was very short with someone today and am sorry that I was. Please pray for this young woman so my bad attitude has not caused her any harm.
""Keep in mind, hurting people often hurt other people as a result of their own pain. If somebody is rude and inconsiderate, you can almost be certain that they have some unresolved issues inside. They have some major problems, anger, resentment, or some heartache they are trying to cope with or overcome. The last thing they need is for you to make matters worse by responding angrily."
– Joel Osteen
Forgiveness asked soon is often given back quickly. If this was a friend, the pain can heal more easily. Hugs, Aussiesapphire.

If you can offer an apology, aussie, letting her know it was your problem, not hers, both of you will feel better. (Speaking from experience, there! )
Never forget that you are a lovely human being of considerable worth in this world. Hugs.

Thank you aknan and parsonwayne, she was not a friend but a business contact and I have written to the company and asked them to apologise to her for me. I don't remember her name, but they would have a record of the phone call she made to me, so hopefully my apologies have been passed on to her. Got my bill from the legal service yesterday which was quite hefty, so when this company called me once again at dinner time, I guess I took it out on her. I am very remorseful as it was not the way in which a follower of Christ should have acted. Hugs to both of you.

Aussie, sometimes we just can't keep the sharp words back. You've done the right thing. I do wish, however, that companies wouldn't call during the dinner hour!
You've asked for forgiveness; now let it go.

Aussie, we followers in Christ are imperfect (boy! are we imperfect). We sometimes act in hurtful ways. I would try to contact the legal service and see if there is any way possible they can give you the lady's first name so that you can write to the service, to the lady's attention, with your apology. I had to go to some lengths once to find the person I'd wronged but found them and we both felt loads better.

Hi trynfindit, it was not the legal people I lost my cool with, it is another company with whom I am involved and only have contact by phone and email. However, I did email them with my apologies. Hugs.

Aussie..we believers will never be perfect in this world. Jesus knows that. In Heaven we will be!!
I think I would rather live across the street instead of in this house. That way I could look out the window and enjoy the view and not have to worry about the upkeep or managing the staff that does the upkeep. Beautiful house and yard.
I'm with you, eijah13. Would need a household staff and groundskeeper, but then, what would I do with my time? Perhaps finally have the herb garden I've always wanted.

Whoever lives in a house like that I suspect there are funds enough for a yard service and housekeeper.
The awnings over the three left windows give an interesting appearance and tie in somewhat to the two arched windows on the right side.
