When you miss a beautiful date with the love of your life, when you trip over an elderly woman at the grocer’s, when your mum comes over after a few months and glances at your messy room, when your young nephew asks you to lasso the moon for him, when you arrive late at office and bump into your boss at the doorstep, when you forget to wish your dearest friend on their birthday, you wear an apologetic face and softly whisper:
Sorry.
Lo, they accept your apology with an understanding smile, warmth spreads all over your body. It’s just one word, but the feeling it creates is nothing short of
AWESOME!

haha you are funny 🙂
that site is adorable!
Aww wow, it really is a beautiful feeling. I had on my own awesome list “Reconciliation” because saying sorry and forgiving someone is a beautiful feeling and act in life, that we experience every day. Grudges=not awesome!!
Yeah, saying sorry and more so the acceptance of it by the other person is simply awesome!
grudges are indeed anti-awesome!
Sorry if sounds negative but I’ve a question~ when it’s your anniversary and you are lovingly, whole-heartedly, preparing/planning a wonderful day, evening, night; said we’d spend the day fishing at an old favourite; sacred space, perhaps, and your “part-ner” takes off on his motorcycle instead, for the entire day, Smug and no sorry whatsoever and it hurts so bad because you must realize it’s over. *you’ll only be missing the dream that never was.* would you all give me permission to hold a wee grudge? Just enough to help me have the courage and strength to walk, once and for all out of this history. to create a life with a cup runneth over with love, for myself and the generations before and after me~ please and thank you, awesome friends!
oh that’s a sad scenario 😦 But hey, could we all not like to see if forgiving would work?
Yes! I can forgive! Even if I can’t forgive the rest of my ife away, It’s better for the health! Thank you:)
here’s to health! awesome! 🙂
I’ll be honest with ya. I hold grudges. I do. I’m not going to lie about it. Sometimes being angry is what you need. No one can honestly be happy all the time. The emotions are all there, sometimes you need to experience all them. We all get sad and angry and furious and depressed. Its ok.
Yes, it is healthy to express our emotions in healthy ways- SO true!
Sorry would be welcomed with open arms. Sometimes a sorry is all we need! Sorry with action speaks volumes. When there’s neither *I* say sorry wiht sincerity to the other person for my part in the deserving/undeserving. And as I crank up the volume to Don Henley’s, “Heart of the Matter”, The Beatles, “Hey Jude”, Springsteen, Springsteen, Springsteen, I finally “Shout” Sorry, with compassion and forgiveness to oneself. Finally, I am incuded in all of this and my heart is wide open to receive the compassion! I am nurturing the things I am told by the allies I embrace, that I am fast. I am strong. I am bold. I am brave. My courage and strength are incredible. To say sorry, forgive self and take action to truly live this, this too is truly awesome:)
SO TRUE! You have put it in such an awesome way, Wendy!
I think boarding anger and letting it out is fine, as long as you control yourself. But forgiveness takes you one step ahead, doesn’t it? (not that im free of anger 😛 )
Soul is home so it best be a haven:)
I think I have finally made it to the enlightened side of life! Gosh darn it, I’ve earned it…and humbly I’ll accept! Thank you to everyone in awesomeland who have helped me transition:)
hope to make that transit myself, one day! 🙂
I finally get that it’s God’s gift to everyone in life, along with free will to choose it:)
Yes, forgiveness is great. I wasn’t saying that it wasn’t. Its always feels wonderful to clear the air of bad feelings and let the other person(s) know that its ok.
yeah 🙂
