Others can forgive mistakes. But it helps if one admits them first.
Who are you talking to or about?Others can forgive mistakes. But it helps if one admits them first.
Actually many refuse to forgive mistakes and also after we admit them they often keep punishing us over and over. So I only admit mistakes in private with someone or try to make it up to them.Sorry, myself I imagine.
That is very good advice.Actually many refuse to forgive mistakes and also after we admit them they often keep punishing us over and over. So I only admit mistakes in private with someone or try to make it up to them.
It really does no good to keep beating yourself up. It's a hard habit to change and takes time to change it like most things.Sorry, I spilled and had to clean up.
Yeah. I made a dumb mistake and I was kicking my own butt over it.
Easy for you to say. I'm perfect though, so I have higher standards.It really does no good to keep beating yourself up. It's a hard habit to change and takes time to change it like most things.
Well it is 4:15am here...and we are both awake.Yes, I am awake right now. In fact, as of this writing, it is exactly 4:06 P.M. in the afternoon here in Thailand.

Thanks for breakfast... but those are GASP!!!@CallMeKate Are you up for awhile now?
Amazingly well now. Thanks for asking!Thanks for breakfast... but those are GASP!!!*OLD* people! Where's the bacon?!
And yes, I haven't been able to sleep much past 2 a.m. for many years now. I've just made myself get used to it. How are you doing today with the healing? @Paco Dennis

It sounds like a comfortable schedule. You must be getting on in years having retired 18 years ago. I am almost 72 and I have a routine I stick by religiously.For literally decades, I was usually the first one in the office (or at least the floor I was on). This meant getting up about 4 or so, and arriving at work at 6. I was known for that, and for being the guy that fired up the coffee pots. My reasoning for this was to avoid traffic (ha), and get the lay of the land before others came in.
I retired 18 years ago, and to this day I/we still get up at 4 am. Sounds crazy, especially to some family members and working neighbors. But here is the thing... our day is moved ahead two hours from the "norm". We go out to eat every day, having lunch at 11, dinner at 4, and bedtime (or reading time) starts about 8.
Obviously this works for us, and yet others would (and do) laugh at it.
I always get up about 4. I have to take a nap. From 2pm-4pm I will sleep again. It gives me enough energy to go till 9:30...lights out.I am still up, I tried but it was a no go. Looks like I will be sleeping the day light hours away, again!
