Sometimes expressing your sorry takes time

    It does not mean that you are not sorry, probably immediately,

    it might take time to figure out what you are really sorry about,

    Maybe the feelings come immediately and then the mind catches up

    or maybe it is the other way around.

    Sometimes we have unrealistic expectations of others and ourselves that cause calamity.

    Possibly, we learned immediately after hurting someone, doing something we regret, just doing something wrong, that what we did just was not quite right.

    We all have bad days, misunderstandings, awakenings, new information, we all know that.

    Sometimes we just don't know how to handle a particular situation or person.

    Given all that, we offend each other. Some let it go, some confront it, some kill each other over it. Some embrace conflicts as a great learning tool.

    Sometimes we don't need to be sorry at all, just understanding, respectful of others.

    Ok, now I think I am babbling.

    Anybody have any thoughts or feelings to add, would love it and appreciate it.

    loving you all the best way I know how

    I agree. Now go have a glass of wine and a hot bubble bath. I'll be there later.

    It's all ok, don't worry.

    What you said is very true. We all mistep or misspeak from time to time. It's not always easy to ask forgiveness and we don't always realize we've caused ofense.

    To everyone out there: If I have hurt you in any way, I'm trully sorry. I try to comfort and support everyone but I'm also outspoken and jaded about certain things. If I have caused ofense, again, please forgive me.

    Peace,

    Purps -

    I've been trying to figure out how to post what you just did so eloquently. I've always had a lot of respect and admiration for you purps. I've always had you on my list of people that I would love to meet because I really believe we would be good friends.

    In regards to adding any thoughts: I just know that my time here (5 months) has been a learning and growing experience like no other. I did not walk away from the borg and my marriage, as I have been telling myself, virtually unscathed. I have issues that I've only started to realize and figure out in the last few days.

    I am deeply sorry for any hurt or offense that I am responsible for.

    I am also deeply grateful for the way you have all taken me in and been supportive on my journey.

    Sorry is a way of life! Hope you all bonded against 'the challenge' - if so your community stands strong! I am not one of you! That I know! Agape! Who I am - none of you even came close - but that's an irrelevance and it doesn't surprise me with all the red herrings I was throwing around. Adios amigos! Take care and keep the undying lands on your horizon!
