Can you make amends?

What is it like to make amends? Can you find a reason to apologize to someone? What does that take in you?

I apologized to someone today for an unwise speech act. I did it because these two - my partner and son - among other on my home island matter to me. Because small instinctive it's can have a long term impact on relationships.

Feels good to apologize and I hope it's accepted. The sacrifice of pride and ego has its return in a feeling of peace.
