I know a lot of people who say they are sorry, and sometimes I am one of them. We think we are making “amends.” But amends does not mean “sorry.” It means change. When you mend something, you change it from being broken, torn and problematic. To say I am sorry for being broken does not mend anything. It might deal with shame and guilt, but not change. People in my religion go to confession but they don’t change. It just makes them feel better to say they are sorry. You don’t change without a plan of action. Amends is about action and not just words. If I get upset and anxious about the same things over and over, then I have no plan. So what is your plan for today?

To ask God for help, to turn it over and to do the next right thing. It's important for me to remember I'm never alone on this journey. ❤️
