Saying I’m Sorry

A recent "adventure" required a bit of self-awareness.

And my desire for saying I'm sorry.

And maybe a little acceptance, too (my one word to live by for this year).

🙏

As the song by the music group Chicago says, "it's hard for me to say I'm sorry."

I find that's often true and yet saying I'm sorry often provides freedom.

It might even provide more freedom for the person saying those words than the one hearing them.

The "lighter mental load" was at least part of my motivation to apologize.

I wanted to stop thinking and worrying about what happened. I wanted to move on and enjoy the rest of my day.

I apologized and I believe we both received the grace to leave it behind.

Yes, it is sometimes hard for me to say I'm sorry.

When I do, it feels liberating.

How do you feel when saying I'm sorry?

Create your life.
