• 100 Word Challenge: Sorry Not Sorry
  on Jan 3, 2017 in 100 word challenge apologize passive aggressive behavior sorry
  I've been told I don't apologize enough.  I do tend to focus on a solution to a problem, even when I am the problem. Saying "I'm sorry" technically isn't a solution.  I've been working on this, trying to say "mea culpa" more often.  Ex...

  The other day, as I was sitting in my office writing a report, I glanced at my calendar, and had a minor panic attack.  It was 3:25, and I was supposed to be at my oncologist's office by 3:30.  I had forgotten all about my appointment! ...
