I am writing this post to apologize to everyone who subscribes to our blog, especially members of my family.  Recently an email was unintentionally posted to our blog by me (Jonathan).  The email, thought to be private when I sent it, was nonetheless extremely scathing and harsh in nature regarding actions of certain of my family members.  In hearing certain pieces of news regarding my family, I resorted to writing an email thought to be witty yet sarcastic in attempt to raise myself above those types of actions and decisions, rather than reaching out to those family members to listen and discuss and attempt to help.  Upon learning of the accidental posting my first thoughts were embarrassment at having my thoughts broadcast so publicly in such a manner.  Unfortunately my second thought, and not my first, was my embarrassment at having such cynical and negative thoughts for members of my family. 

    Over the past few days my thoughts have evolved from how I was betrayed by the hotmail auto assist function when typing in email addresses, to why I would write an email like that and finally as to how those thoughts have not benefited me, or my family, as I/we go through life together.  In thinking about the matter the last few days I have realized much more definitively, that if my thinking is so negative and critical regarding others, it surely has an influence within my own home and family. 

    It has been said that words are like bullets and cannot be taken back once spoken.  I very much regret the pain and hurt my email/post caused.  I still have not come to resolution as to how I might remove the wedge so painfully inserted by it.  I ask forgiveness to those of you who were subjected to such a negative forum and again most of all from those who were caused the most pain.
