It seems that people have forgot about how powerful an apology can be. A sincere apology that is. If you have done something wrong and lost someone’s trust an apology is a great way to begin restoring the trust you have lost.
I think one reason people don’t apologize is because they never accept the fact they did something to break that trust. They are in complete denial of doing anything wrong to cause the mistrust. “I didn’t do that.” “ You just don’t understand.” Common answers that are given.
Until the guilty party steps up and admits they did it, then apologizes, the relationship is in jeopardy. How can anybody trust them again if they aren’t willing to apologize for the wrong they did? That’s when the hurt party has to decide if the relationship is worth saving.
Accept responsibility for your actions and then apologize for hurting them.

As powerful as a fast rapids. As turbulent as running it with your kayak, trying to avoid the rocks and hoping for calm water if you make through the rough patch.
Yep that’s relationships.
Did you ever run that river Wayne?

When I was much younger and the water was up more. They have kayak races there in the spring. You definitely have to be on your toes.

Pretty much what you say about apologies, only wordier.

Hmm, not sure how that is done, being ‘compooterly’ challenged.
When I reblog I just copy the blog into a word.doc and then repost it at my site. (This also allows me to exercise my neuroses, and correct spelling, grammar and punctuation.☺️)

My Mother would not let us touch anything with the word, “cus” in it. 😂. Even if it was preceded by “aba ,” the Hebrew word for daddy. She said that would be syncretism.
