Lots to consider here. It's brave to write this and it shows some integrity. I don't think it was a mistake to write the list but I can understand that it was probably uncomfortable.

Very human, though.

Cheers.

As I read your Subject Headings this week I asked myself, would I write my list and then make it public? I still do not know the answer but you have certainly made me reflect. I admire how brave you are. Much respect.

As I am a little older than you, I am thinking my list would be much longer. I have had a life long journey of messy learning, and still working on it. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out." Or in the words of Bob Ross, "There are no mistakes, just happy accidents!" (thought you would like the Bob Ross quote!) In either case, the reminder that I am human and that I will never be done with making mistakes in my lifetime, causes me to reflect more on how I can be more patient and forgiving with myself and with others as mistakes are made.

Oh, by the way, I am sorry if I have ever hurt you. I never wake up the morning planning to be hurtful, but since I am human I am certain I have. Always a work in progress.

Have a great week Alison!
