Bungling an apology

If good apologies are quick, specific, and sincere, I completely bungled one the other day. I didn’t just make an excuse – I sought to blame the other person.

It took me a while to recover and get to the apology eventually. But it was too late by then. The moment had passed.

I was reflecting on the circumstances that led to that sort of behavior. And then realized that good habits exist despite circumstances.

For there always are extenuating circumstances.

Here’s to better apologies then – the kind that are quick, specific, and sincere.
