Unfortunately, Eating Crow!


Have you ever said something that you wish you could take back? You know that one thing that didn't need to be said, and isn't even what you meant, but because you were in the heat of the moment or the anguish of the minute...you said it...! It rolled out of your mouth and off of your tongue like a truck barreling down a suburban street. It was ugly; it was uncomfortable, and a bit scary.


Well, recently I said something to someone I care about a great deal. I didn't mean it...and I so wish I could take it back. And the person took it just like anyone would ...the person was annoyed, angry, and all in all pissed! The minute it came out of my mouth...I wanted to suck it back in, because the reality is what I said is not at all a depiction of what I think of this person or what this person means to me.

But as you know, you can't un-ring a bell....nor can you turn back the hands of time. So my words linger in the air like the stench of a hot summer day.

So at this point, all I can do and all I have done is apologize. I truly hope that I can rectify things. Or at least, I hope this person will realize that I am sincere and did not mean it. But I use this moment as a lesson learned...never say anything without first thinking about the consequences. And I realize that sticks and stones can break someone’s bones and words can hurt just the same!

This is the She-Spot...eating crow...and hoping she can make amends.

.....ughughugh! ------The She-Spot!

  1. This is so familiar to me .. I've said and done things that I didn't mean and had to "eat crow" to make things right again. But I guess this feeling - it will always be there .. it's awful .. but we just have to face it .. :o)
