"I'm Sorry"

Four things you can't recover:
The stone........after the throw.
The word.........after it's said.
The occasion.....after it's missed.
The time.........after it's gone.

Today my husband and I packed up our things in the car, and headed out the door on our vacation. Seven hours later, we finally made it to our destination. Now, that's all fine and good - except for the fact that we realistically could have been where we were going about 2 hours earlier.

Here's the deal... Murphy (and his law) was all up in our business today! No matter what we did, it was wrong:
We went to the wrong restaurant for breakfast... our waitress told us after 45 minutes of waiting that she forgot to put our order in!
We followed the wrong directions... we had to turn around so many times that I thought I was on a Merry Go Round.
We went to the wrong restaurant for dinner... the waiter accidentally hit my husband's elbow with a stack of dishes and his hand was numb throughout our entire meal.

But the worst thing that happened today... Because of the stress of everything going wrong all day long, my husband and I both said things to each other, out of anger, that we both regretted. We allowed the stress we were feeling to get the better of us, and because we didn't have another outlet available - we took our anxiety out on each other! But, you know what? The saying is true... Once the word is spoken, it's spoken.

Thank God, "I'm Sorry" is as easily said.
