apology

i've been putting this off for a while now. you see, like most people, i'm not always really sure how to apologize. you probably know what i mean. actually, at the beginning of the school year, just before the jewish holidays, i was helping the girls with their homework and for jewish studies they had to answer questions on the subject of forgiving – one of the questions was whether, if you've waited for a long time after something (bad) has happened between you and a friend, should you still ask for forgiveness, or should you just ignore whatever happened and carry on as though everything is good, because it's been so long that it doesn't matter anymore (or something like that).

this long introduction is just my way of getting myself psyched to apologize...so here goes....

dear blog, you know how much i love you, right? we've been together for a few years now and even though sometimes i don't pay enough attention to you for a while, i always come back. i know that i promised that this time it would be different, that i wouldn't do that anymore, but i have been very, very busy for the past few months – and i just haven't had the time to sit down and give you the attention that you need. i apologize for that!!!

and before you ask...i know that you know about my relationship with fb...but, let me explain...it's a completely different kind of relationship. he doesn't expect much of my time and attention, i can just pop over for a quick visit, tell him what's been going on with me, in a nutshell, and maybe about the stuff that interests me, and then i'm off again. so, please, don't get hurt, it's just not the quality time that we enjoy together.

i know i've said it before, but i promise to try to devote more time to you. i really enjoy what we have together. i do.

  2. I think a test of true friendship is if you can say what's on your mind and get an honest response in return, and thereby clear the air for a better relationship.
    If you can get through it together after the crisis, it always makes for a better friendship and if you can't, then maybe it wasn't a meaningful friendship to begin with?
    As for time passing, it's never too late to say sorry and I believe the above applies even when years have passed.

  3. Thanks for those words of wisdom. I like your way of putting things.
    Can I call you for help when the girls get this question again next year in their homework? :)
