The colors are especially bright this morning...
Well, I feel...really good.
There was something that's been bugging me for a long time, ever since I was up at Alma. I treated someone very unfairly, basing it on information that was passed to me by an unreliable source. I was horrible to him, to say the least. I saw him on Facebook yesterday and I wrote him a message telling him how sorry I was, and I had no right to do that at all, especially not knowing his own side of the story. Needless to say, in his email back, he was very angry with what had happened 4 years ago (as is his right, don't get me wrong...I'm not saying that as an "oh poor me". I deserved his anger). I wrote again, repeating my apology and letting him know that if he never wanted to hear from me again, I would respect that.
Imagine my pleasent suprise when I found a friend request and another email from him when I sat down at the computer this morning.
It seems that all is all right now. I feel better--more so than I have felt in quite a while. You never really know how deeply something has bothered you, or how horrible you feel in carrying it around with you, until it has been absolved.
Thank you, Johnnathan.
