First, a quote for two for you to remember as you compose an apology:
"Never ruin an apology with an excuse." ~~Kimberly Johnson
“I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.” ~~Maya Angelou quotes (American Poet, b.1928)
Here are some quotes to use when seeking forgiveness:
"The part can never be well unless the whole is well." ~~Plato
"Every problem has a gift for you in its hands." ~~Richard Bach
"Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace." ~~Amelia Earhart
"To see what is right and not to do it, is want of courage." ~~Confucious
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." ~~Anais Nin
"Words are just words and without heart they have no meaning." ~~Chinese proverb
"It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it wrong." ~~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Good luck.

It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them. P. G. Wodehouse
