No apologies
/I've been thinking about the things that I often have to say sorry for. I'm guilty of several of things already this week. Repeat offenders like:
staying up too late
not doing the dishes the night before
eating too much
losing my patience
speaking harshly
being too afraid
being judgemental
not applying sunscreen to the tops of my feet
not listening- really listening
becoming too attached to ideas or people
giving up too easily
speeding
planting cucumbers the day before a wind storm (I lost them all)
planting tomatoes the day before a wind storm (I lost 1 of 4)
hanging on to relationships with people who are "takers"
being late
talking more than listening
not having better boundaries
giving away too much of myself
forgetting hand sanitizer
saying "It's okay" when it's not
saying "I understand" when I don't
not brushing and flossing twice a day
cutting my hair above my shoulders
being ungrateful
being discontent
not charging my camera battery
But there's another list too. Some things I'm never sorry for- or at least I try not to be. No regrets when I:
pray
get up early
laugh with my kids
exercise
smile at someone
offer a compliment
drink water
tell the truth
wear deodorant
call my Grandma
save money
use my imagination
take the extra time to make good coffee
take the stairs
say thank you
give gifts
forgive
kiss
hold tight
love without conditions
get up in the middle of the night for a birth
wear my seat belt
buy fresh flowers
take pictures
talk openly
finish projects
lick the beaters when making cookies
clean out a closet
wear cute underwear
buy nice sheets
have friends for dinner
love with an open hand
What about you? What are the things that you're not sorry for?
