When I am late...

[katepoet]

I guess part of what I am trying to say is that judging others as disrespectful because they are late might not be an accurate interpretation of their intent. Normally, I am on time - but the last 2 months as I have ramped up to more and more hours of work, I seem to be late 5-10 minutes all the time. I get very embarrassed but try not to make that the tone of my interaction once I arrive. I work really hard at not being late, so I am trying not to judge myself on it - that won't help - but to admit that I have some limits that are just showing up through my tardiness. Forgiveness is something we have to give ourselves as well as others.
