Thanks Murray,
Alas...by the time I got to the reception it was ending...I got no traction on my work because I wasn't there. I was showing my children's portraits and it was at a target rich environment (private school).
So tonight I am off to see my sister in a play in NYC ....and I will work on forgiving her...which is healthier than staying angry. Letting go of anger is the only useful thing to do with it.
