On Disappointment

The challenge of the day is to understand why a close friend has been non-responsive to my reach-out. On the one hand, I can give the benefit of a doubt and assume the message was not received. If proved that my assumption is accurate, then there's no problem. Yet I really do not think that the safest assumption which then leaves the prospect of a deliberate decision not to respond. Surely a rason exist but I do not know it. Perhaps she's just giving me a taste of my own medicine as I too have tried to create distance by not always being available. Who's to say she is not as disappointed as me. Bottom line—some distance needs to exist during this transitory time we're in but not when I need a word of encouragement to get me through those days when I weaken and just want a simple "How ya doin?".
