I know. Pretty deep topic, right?
But Friday was the last day of school,
and probably the last day I’ll see my friend, Lightning until next year—so I
thought I should get something off my chest.
I’ve been kind of mad at Lightning
for about two weeks. It started during Track and Field practice. Everyone knows
Lightning and I like to compete. We’re not “best friends” off the track, but
we’re not enemies, either. For me, it’s always been about a little friendly
competition.
So I guess I was a bit surprised
when Coach Taylor yelled “Go!” and Lightning TRIPPED me. I fell flat on my
face—I have the scabs to prove it! He says
it was an accident, and instead of believing him, I’ve been festering anger.
Grandma says holding onto a grudge
isn’t healthy. So, I’ve decided to forgive him, and not just because it was World
Forgiveness Day on Friday, either. I just don’t want to go into the summer being…mad.
And maybe it WAS an accident. I choose to believe it was.
Apparently Monday is World Hug
Day. Grandma seems to think Lightning and I should “hug it out.” Um…no. I
draw the line there! But I will be sure to pass around some hugs to my family.
(And maybe a few of my friends…like Sophie!)
Gotta Jet! IWho should you think about forgiving?
And, if Friday was your last day of school, CONGRATULATIONS! Have a great
summer!
