Ya missed the memo...

Thoughtless... Insensitive... Careless... Distracted.
This is probably my biggest fault. Anyone who knows me knows I would never hurt anyone on purpose. Yet I was raised amongst a family that holds sensitivity on a pretty low standard- simply put, we're hard on each other, and tough because of it. We tease hard, and we are blunt and honest. We don't hesitate to say things. We also don't think or consider a lot of things that many people do... Making us less likely to be offended, and more likely to offend.
My experience lately has been missing the memo... I don't realize things til after I've missed my chance, and it's too late.
It's a problem for me, but I think it's funny... I'm pretty sure the Lord is trying to round out my edges, fill in the areas of my life where I'm messed up, teach me. So, it's not fun and I feel like a little stupid kid, but I think it'll be worth it. Especially since mainly I feel horrible for all the poor people I love that have to put up with my blundering insensitivity.
