Today a family member hostilely accused me of not returning her phone calls for the last several weeks, and she's right. I have been off the radar for awhile. This isn't a direct attack against anybody, and I'm not angry. I have just been very pre-occupied with my garden, horses, and my home life.
I allowed this person to hurt my feelings, and tonight as I was reflecting in the garden I realized this had nothing to do with me, any every thing to do with her. I have been busy living my life and I have no regrets about being virtually impossible to get a hold of for the last 6 weeks.
I was deep in thought tying my tomato plants up, when The Reluctant Farmer took my picture. As the click of the camera lens brought me back to the present, I jokingly said to The Reluctant Farmer: "I have 147 reasons not to call. They keep me busy all on their own...."
I think a thoughtful person would understand you're really busy. Maybe a long chat or get together would help clarify things or? I've been on the end of really needy friends and it's no fun...
