    Great advise.

    I’ve never sent the wrong email to the wrong person but I have sent the wrong text to the wrong person. I was so embarrassed for a long time. Tip: don’t rush to send a text message while rushing to the bathroom early in the morning. You might send it to the wrong person and have to answer the phone while in the bathroom. Then you have to explain how you are too stupid to text message and thank them for calling you right back because all it said was "Call Me". Not to mention how you have to feel stupid for a good long time because you worried a friend. Guess who makes sure she looks several times before sending a text.

    Thanks again for calling stupid me right back.

    There is a great book I'm reading with two girls from my church called "Self Talk, Soul Talk". It takes you through ways to stop the "beating up of the self" after mistakes, big or small. We've enjoyed so far... simple and basic stuff, but we often forget the simple basic stuff.

    Your post is another affirmation for me to remember that mistakes usually aren't worth the grief we give ourselves afterwards.

    Oh, careless me has done it several times over - both sending text to the wrong person and being so embarassed over it. Once, I sent an email to the wrong person and thankfully I was able to save the day without causing any damage - that was a real lesson learnt and now I keep reminding myself to double check the email addresses before clicking send. One of my good friends was not able to stop it and it was miscontrued by the other party. A few of us friends spent months trying to mend the relationship. It was hard.
