Aw. One of my Facebook friends, a girl I had known in high school, recently apologized for something mean she had said to me all those years ago.
I vaguely remembered it, so I knew what she was talking about. It was nice of her to apologize, and interesting that it had weighed on her mind all these years.
Have you ever thought of apologizing? Or making amends somehow in your own heart, if you no longer know where this person is?
I like the concept of offering penance, each in our own way. It's a cleansing thing to be able to acknowledge wrongdoing, regret it, apologize either in person or in our own hearts, and resolve to do better in the future.
