is it time to eat humble pie

One of my ongoing lectures to my daughter involved choice. Sometimes I would see her making choices that did not really serve her. I would try to gently remind her that we are always free to make our own choices and then we have to live with the consequences of the choices we make, even ones made impulsively, perhaps in anger.

The positive part of the lesson:  we are also always free to make new choices, to let go of a choice we regret, such as abandoning a friend in hurt or anger, and choose again. Eat a little humble pie, express regret and love that friend again.
