Let those sleeping dogs stay lying down...
Arghh… have been hit by a raging summer cold - how annoying as was due at a charity event tonight and really don't want to go spread it around. Hope you're okay!
It's Tuesday so I'm looking forward to my "agony" slot on Dublin Newstalk radio after 10 AM. I've had the heads-up from the producer that one of the dilemmas we'll be discussing is from a woman who discovered that her father had an affair 15 years ago. Her mother died three years ago and she still feels utterly betrayed that her father could've done that. Does she confront him or let it go?
TODAY’S THOUGHT: sometimes a saying develops because the truth in it describes reality in many cases and in this case I believe "let sleeping dogs lie". Her mother has passed away and I can only think that her pain and upset would be worried if she had a falling out with her father over it. It'd be a different story if her mother was still alive and she had this information.
I fear she might uncover other "truths" that are hard to handle - like her father might say that her late-mother neglected him and he had no other choice but to find love in the arms of another woman. Neglect is never an excuse for adultery and this could potentially heap more pain on top of what she is already feeling. And her mother is not there to defend your side of the story.
Think carefully, when you discover something, about revealing it when it might not be relevant today.
What with that piece in the paper today about women drivers? Crikey compared to my hubby I don't have a good track record. But then again I only drive about three times a year because I'm utterly and completely committed to tubes, buses and trains. I'm safer in public transport as I've had few too many speeding penalty points in my time.
Got to run, love, Pam X
