"When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power."
~Hugh White
Everybody makes mistakes. Don't they? i know I make mistakes..I wouldn't be surprised if I made more than one a day. I think that is why it comes a little easier for me to forgive...because I know that people have forgiven me. At times when most likely that shouldn't have been the case. Then there are those people where if you make a mistake no matter what that is IT there is nothing left. How do people live like that. Some of the best people in my life have hurt me at some point. I think once you work thru the rough spots it makes you and your relationship stronger.But that is just me. I am thankful that I was blessed with a forgiving spirit. I am thankful that I believe in second chances. Some mistake my kindness and forgiveness as stupidity and sometimes they may be right. But I wouldn't change me. I like me for me! The people who are truly important to me love me for me! There are days when it would be much easier to walk away and forget than to forgive. Opening some wounds are hard. But I am thankful that my life is mine and I get to choose what I fight for and who I forgive.
I am in the process of leaving the past behind me and building my present. Noone knows what tomorrow will bring but I would like to think that if I died today that people would remember me for being kind,loving and forgiving. So looking forward those are the 3 things that I will continue to work on.
I didnt weigh in today....tomorrow will hold all those ugly thoughts about what I ate over the weekend. Today is just about catching up.... Drinking lots of water and preparing for the week ahead. I have set a few goals for this week. They are private for now....I will write them down and blog about them as I cross them off. Looking forward to a great week! Loving the life!
