0.53 I apologised!

This was a very unusual and surprisingly positive experience.

I knew I had got the tone and content of an email wrong.

It prompted a response I first shrugged off as 'unreasonable' - after, all how could I have been wrong?

After (too many?) days of reflection, the nagging in my head got the better of me.

My emailed apology was headed 'Apology', a clear and direct and concisely worded 'I was wrong' message followed.

No explanations, deflections, justifications, just a straightforward acceptance that I did the wrong thing.

This felt better than I thought it would. 

I don't want to go over the top, it was however a 'cleansing' experience, that pushed a voice in my head away and left room for the other stuff.

I wonder if this will give me the good sense to do this more often?
