Have you ever thought - "Oh my goodness, I probably shouldn't have said that?"

It is likely to be certain that we have all been in a situation where something has happened or someone has said something and we have felt anger or frustration. The feeling of anger and frustration is human and perfectly normal but often when we are in the heat of the moment, we react to the situation and say things that might hurt someone else's feelings or we carry it with us throughout the day and let it ruin our day.

Last week, I made an assumption about something I thought I was right about. It was the end of the school day, I was busy trying to hand things out and get the kids ready to go home. One of my students made a comment and I made an assumption, based on what I thought I knew, that what he was saying was incorrect. He became frustrated with me and I became frustrated with the whole situation. Once I had done a little research, I realised I had made a mistake! Boy, did I feel bad!...
