Here we are once again with another exercise from the book Irene bought me: Enjoy Life and Be Happy in 30 Seconds by Alex Lluch. To recap for the newbies, she bought me the book as a joke and said, "blog about it." I started to make fun of i until I realized, hey, these exercises aren't that bad.

Activity #4: Today I will make a heartfelt apology to someone I have wronged.
Of all the assignments so far, this one has proven itself to be incredibly difficult. Not because I don't know how to apologize, but because I don't know who I've wronged. Listen, I'm not saying I'm a saint because I'm not, but I honestly can't think of someone I've done dirty who either A- wasn't asking for it or B- I didn't already apologize to. And yes I know the grammar just then was sucky but you've read the papers from my students...their ignorance is catching up with me!
You people know how I am. It drives me crazy to know someone is mad at me so chances are I've already made amends with any and all injured parties. But in case I missed anyone...
I'm sorry. Sometimes I get caught up in my own selfish emotions that I forget you have feelings, too. It's not something I do on purpose and believe me when I say I'm trying to change. This whole year has been one of self-discovery and self-improvement, and I'd be remiss if I didn't let you know how truly bad I feel for hurting you. Please accept my apology; I know it may seem generic but it is from my heart.
Do you have anyone that needs to hear an apology from you?
*smooches...thinking, "that should cover it!"*
----------
but seriously, if I have wronged you and didn't know or forgot, just let me know. I'm not unreasonable; I would totally apologize!

So threatening to knock me out yesterday - that wasn't apology-worthy? HRMPH..
Or was I one of those that was cruising for a bruising? (i.e. I was asking for it?)
In any case.. I may need to pick that book up.. I need to enjoy life and be happy, and I've only got about 31 and a half seconds... this still leaves me one and a half seconds to think of something snarky to say.
I'm sure there are a bunch of folks I could apologize to, but I'm not gonna because I wouldn't mean it. #kanyeshrug
We all end up missing the bus or being thrown under the bus from time to time. That is a given. But it takes a true lady/true gentleman to awake one morning and realize they have wronged, especially when it comes to someone who sincerely cares about 'em.
I apologize all the time when I find myself in this position. Enjoyed the read, Rocky.
Free lunch for Irene.
I had to do a double take with Don's picture. He looks like he's worked out since the last pic of him I saw. Well done.
Why Irene always tryin' a get somethin' for free, tho?
And if all you did was THREATEN to knock him out, you don't owe Ricardo no apology NO way.
... and I hope my botched up English makes you feel better about yo' grammar.
