Rushing to Judgment…

Got on the late plane out of Boston and saw my beloved aisle seat.

In the seat next to it, the window (no middle on this row), there was a heavyset man. A VERY heavyset man.

He was significantly in my seat as well.

In my heart and mind, I felt resentment. Irritation.

It had been a long day. I just wanted to sit, write a few blog posts, and be relaxed.

Instead, I was squished up and uncomfortable and wasn’t happy about it.

Then, we started talking.

THE NICEST guy. Super friendly. Funny, smart, interesting. I learned A LOT in a short period of time.

Then, I resented myself for having these feelings about him without actually knowing him.

It was a humbling moment.
