Suffering From Blog Envy

It's my 12 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

I remembered the other day that I used to send people notes on New Year’s Eve wishing them a great new year. I was going back and reading them. So many notes and so many great people I used to interact with.

But now I’m lame. Ha ha. Sorry. It’s definitely me - not you.

When’s the best time to acknowledge that you’ve done something wrong?  Is it as soon as you realize or once someone else realizes?

Morally, I know the answer.  You acknowledge as soon as you realize and ask forgiveness.   You own your mistakes and pay for them accordingly.

But when it comes to legal wrangling, is it better to not acknowledge and hope (perhaps) the powers that be don’t notice your mistake?  Acknowledging it could highlight a major breach of contract, which would be a mess - financially and logistically.  I suppose there’s a decent chance that they’d never know of the mistake.  It’s not a life or death situation and the situation doesn’t get worse once it’s acknowledged (it is what it is at this point in time), but it’s an issue that majorly violates the spirit of the agreement/contract.   

I guess if I were the one making the decision, I’d still just admit it and own it.  And then deal with the consequences.  I’d feel better about myself moving forward if I felt like I was being honest with people.

My wife posted a picture of me and my daughter on Facebook at her last band competition. And usually when she posts pictures of me I cringe because I always think I look bloated and overweight. (Though, I’m pretty much the same weight-area - give or take a few pounds - for the past 20 years)

And it made me incredibly sad that in the time it took me to read 1/10 of the book, she probably read the whole thing.
