Missing a significant event this weekend pains me. Never would I have missed the event yet a short-lived, but fierce illness occurred and I could do nothing but lie on the couch and get better.
Years ago a similar issue occurred at a family member's significant event, and I felt similarly heartbroken to miss the affair.
Yet some situations are out of our control, and when we miss events like these, we have to see them as opportunities to build compassion for others at times when they miss one of our significant events or misstep with regard to sensitivity to who we are and what we do.
There are limitless opportunities to demonstrate respect, care, love, and commitment to family members, friends, and others, and when we are righted in that direction as much as possible, then it's a lot easier to forgive oneself for missing a significant event. Onward.
