Letter of Apology about my email on Bipolar Disorder
Published: Tue, 02/01/11
Hi ,
How's it going?
I hope things are going well for you.
I need to respond to a daily email I sent out
entitled "We Sometimes Have to Do This
with Bipolar."
In this daily email, I quoted the Serenity
Prayer, but by mistake I called it the Lord's
Prayer.
Believe me, this was just a mistake - I do
know the difference between the two.
My appreciation goes out to those people
who simply sent emails to point out the
difference and to express concern for me
personally, knowing that I would not usually
make such a mistake.
But, just like you, I am only human, and I
do make mistakes.
So to those of you who were offended by my
mistake, I sincerely apologize.
Let me tell you, I have learned a great lesson
because of this mistake.
Some things have been going on and I have
been working too hard and losing sleep.
I haven't been following my own advice to you.
I'm always talking about how important it is to
follow good sleep habits and to stick to a good
sleep schedule.
Unfortunately, between the things going on at
work and my dad having medical procedures
every other week, I have let my own sleep
schedule get off track.
I know this is no excuse for mistaking the
Serenity Prayer and the Lord's Prayer, even
though it was an honest mistake, but it at least
explains my error to those of you who asked
for an explanation.
I was simply tired when I wrote that daily email,
and didn't notice that I had mistakenly put the
Lord's Prayer instead of the Serenity Prayer like
I had meant to.
Again, I sincerely apologize if I offended anyone.
I certainly didn't mean to.
To those followers who stood by me and understood
that it was simply a human mistake and wrote to
tell me about it, again, I appreciate your kindness
and understanding.
You were simply pointing out an error on my
part that had gone unnoticed.
Thank you for that.
To those of you who attacked me for my mistake,
all I can say is that I'm sorry, and yes, I do know
the difference between the two prayers.
Someone even accused me of not knowing what
I'm talking about when it comes to bipolar disorder
because I didn't know the difference between the
two prayers. That really hurt.
I can only hope that they read this daily email and
find forgiveness in their heart.
People do make honest mistakes, and when they do,
we have to forgive them.
Just like your loved one may ask you to forgive them
for something they may do because of their bipolar
disorder.
Forgiveness is something you can choose to
do or not.
But if you choose to forgive, you will feel so
much better.
Just like your loved one makes mistakes, I do,
too.
So I am asking you to forgive me for my mistake.
