Simple Apology

“I am……….s….so…..sor…..sorr……sorry!”

Whew! Those three words are sometimes the hardest words I have ever uttered.
Truth?

I use to hate to admit when I was wrong. I was a “woman, hear me roar” kind of gal, and I never liked saying that I was sorry. Ask my husband of almost 35 years.

The grocery store music filled my ears as I pulled in the check out line. As I looked at a mom I knew two lines over who could not control her what appeared to be three year old child, I felt sorry for her. Okay, I will admit it, I felt rather smug as we waited calmly for our turn. Continue reading Simple Candy Bar →
