On Tuesday I took my best friend on a lunch date to just treat her. We were having a good lunch date eating at Olive Garden. My best friend was telling me about her son who is eight months old is growing too fast and showing me photos of him. As, we were eating our food my best friend was telling me that she was worried about my health because I work and go to school and do not take time to rest and that i am not eating properly meals. She mentions I have bags under my eyes and that my face looks little bigger than before. My best friend lastly states that my face seems to be dull now. While, she is talking I feel myself getting annoyed ( preventing emotions before they occur , page 105) as I feel my temper getting ready to burst. I take a sip of water and breathe. I think before responding and think she is being my best friend and honestly just worried about my health and making sure I am taking of myself. I stop and take this in as in self assessment as if I am taking care myself. I proceeded to tell her that “I do appreciate her taking in consideration how I am doing? and my health?” I am glad I decided to see another viewpoint of the situation instead getting mad cussing her out.
