A guest who never arrives...
Ever wait expectantly for a guest to arrive only to have waited in vain? Not the best of feelings one can experience but it happens. How do you handle it? It seems the options are limited:
Anger - but does that ever really accomplish anything?
Hurt - hmm, sort of a pathetic route to take
Indignant - that seems a form of self serving snobbery
Indifference - lying to yourself doesn't seem like much of an option, does it?
Sadness - this one seems to be the best option as it can fit nicely in a bruised heart.
Welp, that's all I've got on a Sunday afternoon. Time to go pick at the banjo.

I know that feeling. I end up somehow talking myself into believing that I had done something that made them stay away.
What kind of guest are we talking about? I think I'd be sad if I'd been looking forward to them arriving. If I was 'stood up', like it was a date, I'd be hurt and angry, then indignant, and then indifferent...but not sad.
Hey, you visited me the other day so I'm stopping by to say hello!
Oh I forgot... peeked at your profile and see that you're a fellow Mockingbird lover. Great time of year to read it, too.
I'm waiting for several guests to arrive and while the wait isn't over, probably will be at 5.p.m. this coming Friday, I'm running through the gamut of reactions you have in your post. Need to get a better handle on my emotions I guess.
