Sisters
Never apologize for pursuing what makes you happy. Even if you need to quit your job, or move across country, always do what you really want.
Never apologize for giving your best in a relationship that just didn't work out.
Never apologize for being successful. Only haters want to keep you at their level.
Never apologize for crying. Wear waterproof mascara and express yourself.
Never apologize for being frugal. Just because you save your money instead of blowing it on the latest fashion emergency doesn't mean you're cheap.
Never apologize for being a single mom. Babies are a blessing.
Never apologize for treating yourself to something special. Sometimes you have to show yourself some appreciation.
Never apologize for leaving an abusive relationship. Your safety should always be a priority.
Never apologize for keeping the ring even if wedding bells won't chime.
Never apologize for setting high standards in a relationship. You know what you can tolerate and what simply gets on your nerves.
Never apologize for saying NO.
Never apologize to your new friends about old friends. There's a reason she's been your girl from day one.
Never apologize for ordering dessert - or more than one dessert.
Never apologize for your taste in clothes. It's your style
Never apologize for changing your mind
Never apologize for being you!
"ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!"
Send this to all the Special Sisters in your life! I just did! A friend is a person who knows all about you and still loves you just the same.

Sayings have their place but so do apologies.

John Howard won't apologise, sorry seems to be the hardest word for him.

I would say sometimes apologise but maybe apologies are best kept for when you mean it, mind you sometimes it might be worth considering apologising even if something is not your fault.

The British use to be well know for saying ‘sorry’ even if you bumped into them in the street, it was considered good manners in those days, I suspect that doesn’t happen much now – sadly.

Thanks forgiven, I like that lot. Will share it with my dtr.

John Howard, is arrogant. Or is it ignorant?

He assumed it was acceptable to treat abuse with more abuse. Not very bright for someone of his education and standing.

I'm with Margee on the politics issue.

New Zealand has quite a long of history of politely (more or less) telling foreign politicians to back up and butt out of our domestic politics. Perhaps it might be time to repay the courtesy?
As for the intervention in the N.T. Maybe you should comment less of these issues , unless you have had a insight of these things .

What you don't know about me is that my birth mother was of the stolen generation.

Are you Aboriginal?

Who cares about John Howard and his country's problems - we have enough of our own here!

Back on track now - thanks Forgiven for that very insightful poem.
