Finding it difficult to speak

So I had committed to leading the Thursday evening of the daily group meetings I attend.

The meetings start at 5:30; I was across town and made sure to leave the school I was at early enough to make the meeting on time.

They did not count on a forty-minute commute to my meeting and were three minutes late; they had passed the lead to someone else (which is expected for meetings that start ritualistically on time).

It bothered me that I missed the lead; I take pride in my commitment and the fact that I am never late; I broke two of those things this evening, and it hit me hard.

I am never late for work and always honor my commitments to the schools and the corp office, so it is an incredible letdown when I cannot have the same treatment in my personal life.
