Is there any way to say sorry?

This week, as some of you know, my friend and I had one of those bumps in the road. It's been a difficult week for both of us, and things just happened. I really feel bad for anything that I might have said or done to make her think that I don't care. But, she is my best friend and I miss talking to her. I want us to be friends again, and I'm so sorry. I hope these quotes help her understand how sorry I am. So, this is for you Halle. I hope you realize how deeply sorry I am.

Forgivness begins with me!

I know there are many times that I get angry at people and I hate being the one that has to apologize. But I'm finally starting to grasp that even if they're the ones who are wrong, we still need to forgive them. I know forgiving people doesn't come easy, especially when they are your friend and they really hurt you. I am learning to be quicker to forgive, but I'm still human and need help...so here are some quotes that I hope will help you, as well as myself.
