At this time in life, trying to understand why things are not accomplished, becomes a reasonable question. Why are promises not kept? What possible explanation can there be for not following through?
My excuses are my reality. No one's reality but mine. I have found, every instance where an apology may be required to explain why I have not come through, was best left as only a simple apology with no explanation. I have very valid reasons. "I am sorry, but......." and I stopped including the "but......." and only said "I am sincerely sorry I did not.........." without explanation.
Who wants to hear why a person did not follow through? Contrition is a composition of understanding and commitment. Somewhere in youth, saying "I'm sorry" was a step towards trying hard not to make the same mistake towards injuring someone again. As age becomes tangled in life's surprises; creating a sometimes uncontrolled reality to cope with, we have the choice of sharing our reality as the excuse or excusing our reality as our life.
