Day 22 A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

Ok I am back at it. I don't know that anyone has hurt me recently but there is someone who has really frustrated me so I will do that instead.
Dear X,
First of all I really hope you know how much I appreciate everything you do to help me. I know I still have a lot of questions and my constant questions probably get annoying at times. I appreciate everything you take care of so I don't have to. I just wish I could help you more. You always seemed to be stressed to the point that you can't deal with anything that pops up out of the blue. I try hard to be a good example by treating the people who create these distractions with kindness and compassion. I just wish you could remember that these people are not having the best of days themselves and they are probably very frustrated. I wish you would show a little compassion on them.
I don't really understand why you think everyone is out to take your responsibilities. No one wants to do that. We just want to make your life easier. There is no need to be secretive in your responsibilities.
I hope that someday you will be able to take a step back and realize that if you show people a little more compassion and friendliness they will be nicer to you. I don't think you realize that there are times when I avoid having to talk to you because I am afraid of having you snap at me. I hope that we can learn to work next to each other and become a great team.
Sincerely, Janet
