To readers of my LJ, family and friends:

If I have offended any of you, in any way, shape, manner, or form, real or imagined, then I apologise and beg forgiveness. If I have done anything to hurt, demean, or otherwise injure you, I apologise and beg forgiveness. If I have done or said over the past year anything that has upset, or otherwise bothered you, I sincerely apologise, and will do my best to ensure it won't happen again.

If you have done something in the above categories, don't worry. I know it wasn't intentional, and I would accept any apology you would make.

[Explanation of the above: Monday evening marks the start of the Jewish Year 5766. Traditionally, during the ten days starting Monday evening, Jews examine their lives and see how they can do better. On Yom Kippur (starts the evening of October 12th), Jews apologise to G-d for their misdeeds during the past year. However, for an action against another person, one must apologise to that person. Thus, the above apology.]

I don't mean to be cheeky, and I'm just curious, but doesn't it go against the spirit of this business to issue a general and collective apology? Isn't the point to sort of have a fresh start with each person?

I see your point, but this is a kind of "I can't think of anything I have done but just in case there is something of which I was unaware" thing. If I know I've done something which needs to be sorted out, I will of course approach the person concerned and do my best to make amends.

apology accepted, though you have never (and i can never imagine you doing so) anything bad toward or about me.

love and happiness for your next year. :)

Yes, you can make a fresh start but not without some sort of "making amends" and 'owning' any bad behavior you have done. And the person(s) you harmed or hurt must ACCEPT the apology as well.

L'Shana Tovah Shira. May you be written in for the wonderful & joyous year you so truly deserve.

Be'ahavat - Babs
