seeking connection; a post of apologies

Over the past few days, I have had a few good conversations where someone pointed out to me ways in which I had hurt them or failed to support them as we'd both wished.

This has been an unusual year for me. I've done both more and less soul-searching than normal.
I've pushed a lot on my family & friends. While much of that was willingly taken on, I fear to have crossed a line, blithely & blindly.

I am sure that I have failed in many ways this past year. The most obvious is constant lateness. It seems like a "victimless crime" --- but I know it's not, and I apologize to you. Likewise the other ways that I have hurt those close to me, and less close. Please let me know if there is something particular between us that is bothering you. I am generally full of bumble & over-looking. With your help, and openness we can move forward ... to improvement, and even hopefully forgiveness.
