Starting Off The New Year - 1/7/2011 12:04:27 PM

I believe it is best to start the New Year not with resolutions but with apologies.

I am a big believer in the apology. Especially when it is backed up by action. The action is what is hard to follow through on sometimes but I try.

I try to apologize to those I have wronged when I did it but I realize that sometimes, I have not always done so. And sometimes, I did not know that I had hurt someone. So...for those I have hurt and did not know that I had and for those who I did not apologize to but should, here I go.

To those I have offended without meaning to: I am sorry. I will promise to be the best me I can be without becoming a mirror that reflects only what you want me to be.

To those who I have hurt...through careless words or actions...even without meaning to: I am sorry.  I know that I have a tendency to explain my actions with illustrations that serve only to bolster my arguments and not address the fact that I have hurt you and that you have a right to be hurt without your level of hurt matching mine.

To those that I did not take more time for when I should have: I am sorry. This one should not occur because most of the people I am involved with understand what my time constraints are and do not impose on them.  Therefore, I have little excuse for making them feel as if they were imposing when they contacted me outside of my time constraints.

Anyone care to add on...do so. As I said, I have apologized to those most important to me for wrongs I have done but it never hurts to do so again and be able to include those I have not apologized to.

I am sorry I don't have anything I feel I need to apologize for.

Either I am eeeeeeebbbiiiiiiiillllllllll.....................or very forgetful.

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

To those of you who have felt ignored: I am sorry. I have been here less and have not been forward in explaining why.

Your friendships mean a lot to me and I apologise for my distance.

I don't see the point of such generalised apology. If I step on your foot through MY carelessness, I'll apologise for that particular oversight. If I did it with you walking into my path, I'd suggest checking your eyeglass prescription.

CreativeDominant - nice thread, thanks!

I apologize to myself for spending so much time here, especially in the mornings when I should have been practicing yoga.

The action is to create discipline around my yoga practice - thanks to F&P for helping me with this!

I leave that up to the more wicked minded among us... the Female Dominants.

Indeed I do, actually it's a bit of a sore point with me as I'd been looking forward to chilling out with SWMOM for a couple of weeks, catching up with films/tv I'd downloaded. Instead, every fucker decided to descend on Chez Jaybee, at most given times since the 20th my place made Charing Cross Station at 8.30am look like a meeting of the Taliban Nympho society at ramadan.

I probably had the grand total of TWO days of nothingness, and even those were blown in hazy hangovers....

No more though, tis Booze-free January....

Wow...there is a lot of emotion in this post...and a lot of pain.

CD...i have found, as a general rule, the one we most need forgiveness from is ourselves. Once we achieve this (and it is generally a very difficult thing to do) we can see clearly that we have not hurt others as much as we fear.

If i might quote a bible verse i have on my desk:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.....

Funny, I read humility rather than pain. And taking responsibility for one's actions, always nice to see.
