This morning I received the usual smug self-congratulatory missive from a former friend who I don't keep in touch with any longer. It doesn't let me off the hook though. I always get one.
I scanned through it trying to supress my usual tuts and snorts learning that her perfect family is even more perfect than last year, there's hardly an inch of the globe they haven't visited and they've somehow managed to find the time to build a two storey extension on their second home!
A thought then occurred to me. They know nothing of our current life, we're ten years older and for all they know, one or both of us could be dead! We can't be the only ones on their probably extensive mailing list who have had a shitty year. Sometimes when I bump into somebody in town I haven't seen for ages I hesitate to ask after their other half....just in case. Shouldn't RR senders exercise the same caution?
I think I would worry about how the recipient might be feeling. Christmas is not always the most wonderful time of the year. No need to rub it in!
Rant over....anyway, I felt better after I chucked it on the fire.
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
