Mistakes

I’ve been thinking lately about 2 specific incidences in which I have said or done something that ultimately hurt someone I cared for and/or respected. No, I’m not going to spill the beans, so don’t ask. Anyway, both of these events ended with me apologizing. But there is still a nagging feeling with one of them. Do you ever just want to look someone in the eye and say something that will totally erase their memory of what you did? That’s how I feel. The person may not even remember what happened, afterall it’s been 15 years. Even though this person is in another country, I still feel like I need to make contact and ensure that there are no hard feelings lingering.
Think back on a time in your life when you have made a mistake that ended up causing someone else pain. Did you say you are sorry - and mean it? Have you repaired a damaged relationship? You probably have something on your mind right now. Why don’t you do something about it? Don’t send an e-mail or try to make things right over the phone. Meet that person face to face, if you can. Mend the wrong, make it right the best that you can. It could change your life - and theirs.
