What are you thankful for today??

[an amniote]

I'm beyond thankful for my friend's understanding and forgiveness.

I was super tired and read a text she'd sent as telling me she was no longer interested in helping me with something new that I'm working on, rudely. And I sent her a really mean reply before I went to bed.

She was baffled and hurt. She even thought I wanted to end our friendship. The next day, after I realized I'd got it wrong (she was really telling herself not to be bossy and to STFU in full and in capitals), I sent her a contrite and apologetic reply and explained the situation and told her how much I appreciated her and her help, and that she was far from being bossy, and suggested we have a catch up soon.

I got a thumbs up and a rosy smiley face in return. I appreciate her even more, now!
