If my attitude bothers you, my apologies to you, If my caring attitude towards you makes you feel uncomfortable, my apologies to you. If my quest to Do The Right Thing bothers you, my apologies to you. If my work ethic makes you think I have ulterior motives, yes I do, it is to give folks my best efforts, if that bothers you, my apologies to you. If my willingness to share my experience or assistance bothers you, my apologies to you. If I gift you something it comes from the heart, if it bothers you, my apologies to you. If my reason and common sense bothers you, my apologies to you. If my speech and manner of speaking bothers you, my apologies to you. If my straightforwardness bothers you, my apologies to you. If my desecration and diplomacy bothers you, my apologies to you. If my silence at times bothers you, my apologies to you. If my appearance bothers you, my apologies to you. If my lack of knowledge bothers you, my apologies to you. If my looking out for you, bothers you, my apologies to you. If my upbringing bothers you, my apologies to you. If I bother you, my apologies to you!!

Over this past year I have been told that some or all of the above bothers some, not all but some. I tried to do better and attempt to win you over, but it has been unsuccessful, not because I lacked effort but because you were bothered by me. Not all have been bothered by the things that make me, ME! To those that I admire, care for, honor and have the highest respect for, you shall always have the puzzle pieces that make up me.

To those that get bothered by me being me, this is my last apology to YOU!! I have made it to a point in my life that I can not put effort into those that don’t deserve the effort. I don’t know how much time God has given me on my clock, but I want to share my time with the Best that Life has!!! I care, I have not always cared, there was a time when I would have stepped on you, over you and right thru you. I am pleased that I am not there these years, and the years that remain I wish to give my best to the best!!

I will screw up, mess up and make mistakes and fall on my ass again and again, but I will adjust, get up, move forward and do better because of YOU!!! I will apologize when I have done wrong, not when I’m doing the right thing.
