Thank you, ej. I am sad because I had an idea and suggested it poorly and rashly. It was a good idea but needed to be handled with some delicacy. Said idea was turned down, and I did not expect it to be turned down so quickly. Also, I did not expect to be so sad.

Is it an idea you can propose again in a different way?

I don't know, at least, I think I may have used my one chance with this particular person, who is the only person with whom I really want to work on the idea.

It's a good idea, too, which is what makes me sad. It would have been really helpful to me for a project I'm working on, and I think it would have been fun and interesting for everyone involved. But I just sort of dove in, the way I always do, without considering enough of the obstacles/delicacies first.

Having an idea rejected sometimes feels like being rejected yourself, you know?

Give it time and let timing work itself out. Ideas prove themselves out and maybe new people make new possibilities or old people at new times.

My quiet whine is about my old once busted ankle. i think i have to start wrapping it again if i really want to be as active as i should be. Or move to someplace dry.

But today seems full of quiet possibilities, turning things over in the head and idly fiddling with things outside it.

:(
