Hey everyone,

I just wanted to say Im sorry for the 2 posts I put on my thread Components of the Art.
As I went back and read what I put, I realized that not only was it completly the opposite of what I was trying to convey it went against the reason for my thread to begin with. My heart still feels the same message, but not with the energy put into that post. Im going to try the very best I can, to convey whats in my heart with the same energy. And not an energy of anger, pain and desperation. That was wrong.
I am truly sorry. Thank you all for your understanding. :)
Im not sure what to chalk it up too. The Gemini personality, a mom having a bad day, or nothing at all. I dont want to make excuses here, I am just hoping that my lapse of sanity wont effect any friends that can be made here. I am ashamed to see that I did not show the love and compassion I have been taught to show. I guess no matter how hard we try, it sometimes on those sometimes days, doesnt work very well.
Anyways, again....

Im really really really sorry.:( :(

In the future I will do all I can to completly understand all points of view.

Thanks everyone. :)

It's often difficult to convey our thoughts and feelings accurately online. We don't have the advantage of body language, tone of voice, etc. The things that are important to communication face to face. The only thing we can do is try our best to get our point across as intended, and when we realize we may have failed, do our best to clarify. :)

I would agree... I often spend a long time writing a post, then reread it and realize it didn't really say what I meant. I know what I mean, but no one here knows me through anything but what I write. I have posted on other bulletin boards, where I know some of the people personally, and someone I know in person will write something, and I will know what the person means - and someone else who doesn't know that person except from the bulletin board will read it, and take a totally different way - because if it's someone I know personally, when I read it, I will hear it in my mind as if the person is actually talking to me - I can't do that with people I've never met. I can't count the number of times I've posted something, looked at it, and then hit the "edit" button and changed/added/removed things... and also the number of times that I didn't realize the post didn't read the way I thought I said it, and gave up trying to change it, because I couldn't figure out how. It happens to everyone - but not everyone owns up to it like you did here.

I gotta go with the crown here. I don't see any reason for apologies. And don't beat yourself up for not expressing exactly what you meant. Happens to everybody at some point or another.

Your friend....

Not to worry, I have been mad, well actually many would say I am mad, let me rephrase, I have been angry a couple of times on MT and it is pretty easy to figure out when that happens. You never even came close to making me angry.
