I hear you is a great phrase too, Elizabeth!

Isn't it funny how when you stop saying I'm sorry, you have to think about what else you can say, and realize you want to think a little harder about what you really want to communicate, and find that, quite possibly, you don't need to say anything at all? A few times when I've had small misunderstandings with friends, or forgot something I meant to remember, I realize the best response is a laughing emoji or just saying, yep, I did that. Nothing more. Maybe sometimes we just say too much!
