After our phone conversation, I had this idea that I should get out my AA literature and see how the steps for becoming willing to make amends and the actual making of amends compare to the steps you wrote out for X. I like the way that you wrote them out. I know that the key step for me is the part where I become willing - that's the part where I have to let go of all my excuses and all the reasons why I wouldn't have behaved badly if the other person hadn't behaved badly first. : ) Who in Austin told you that an apology you gave was all about you? I don't remember that, though I feel like I should. This is fun! Hopefully I'll get better at it with practice, too. Thank you for writing this!
