How forgiveness works

Vicki kinda snapped at me this afternoon, and I barked back at her and she got her feelings hurt and I kinda bit at her and told her she snapped before I barked. We were both a little cranky, I'd just finished about 4 hours of weed eating and was pushing myself the last hour to finish and not quit, like a long distance run or something like that. She'd been cleaning all morning and was doing something on the computer that she thought I should have done already.

Anyway, after a few minutes she said, I'm sorry you barked at me and I forgive you. I appologized to her for her snapping at me and forgave her back. Now we are all happy and luvy-duvy.
