Artful Living
mea culpa
May 22, 2013
I need to make an apology to you for my weakness of taking too much on and trying to be too perfect.
My Mistake, my fault, my bad, mea culpa. I take things on, life happens and then I make mistakes and allow my own faults to mess with me. I am sorry.

Confíteor Deo omnipoténti
et vobis, fratres, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo, ópere et omissióne: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa. Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper vírginem,
omnes angelos et sanctos, et vos, fratres, oráre pro me ad Dóminum Deum nostrum. |
It sounds better when I say it in latin. mea culpa, mea culpa. mea máxima culpa.
I am sorry. I mean it.
I am not going to let my mistakes define me but I am going to learn from them. I need to know that I am human and in the future realize that things out of my control, do not determine the final outcome.
Will you grant me permission to make a mistake every now and then. No, I am not talking mistakes on a regular basis, just once in a while. I feel better putting this out here.
I also will be taking a blog break as my daughter will be having surgery to remove her appendix which yes, ruptured in February and required an emergency trip to the hospital and a 6 day stay and 3 weeks of school were missed. Due to the appendix having ruptured, they must wait for the infection to clear before removing the appendix, hence the reason for this surgery. My 13 year old girl has shown her tenacity, her bravery and her sense of humor and independence. I her Mother feel so awful that I did not bring her to the Doctor earlier but again, I am not going to let that mistake define me. It happened.
We are moving onwards.
mea culpa.
I am sorry.
