    Just a quick personal story that happened to me recently...
    Without getting into much detail, a friend of mine and I were not really speaking to each other. Whenever I saw her it was the most uncomfortable, akward experience. We hadn't gotten into a fight, but I was getting the messages that she was not interested in speaking to me.
    Finally, I had enough and someone suggested that I talk to her (again!). And I did! And guess what? The entire time she assumed that I had been so hurt by her that I was the one not interested in having anything to do with her.
    In one moment, all misunderstandings cleared away and we had such menuchas hanefesh and peace.
    My message is that saying sorry is all about communication. So many relationships and friendships can be restored and at peace by communicating with the person, saying sorry when necessary, and even when you don't think you should be the one to apologize. I felt so ignored and I could have said that my friend should be the one to apologize because of all the pain she caused me. But it's a good thing I didn't wait until she made the first move because she didn't even realize how I felt.
    Open the lines of communication in your relationships, listen to the other person to understand them and where they are coming from, and your relationships will be enriched.
    Much hatzlacha and don't wait as long as I did.
    I could have avoided much pain had somebody told me this advice.
    G'mar Chasima Tova!
    May Hashem bless you with much peace within yourself and between others.

    B'Siyata, that is so true. Miscommunications and misunderstands can ruin a friendship. My best friend and I aren't in any clases in school together and I barely see her and we haven't spoken, really spoken in ages, life is just so busy. She called me because she thought I just wasn't interested in being freinds with her anymore while really I had just been crazy busy! Thank G-d it was cleared up before Yom Kippur, before she decided that the friendship was just over!
