As you can see, I put this one off an extra day. Hard stuff to think about--much less share. Rather than sharing names or specific incidents, I will say that I have come up with a list of things I was still holding a grudge about in the past. I think I honestly thought I had let go of them--forgiven and forgotten--but, truthfully, I haven't. There are some that I am ready to really let go of--and for some of them, it will have to be one sided, since I would have no idea how to contact some of the people, let alone would I want to or feel comfortable doing so. Other things...I might need some more time.
I really like this quote Megan shared:
I forgive myself.
I forgive everyone.
I am totally free.
-Sark
Forgiveness is odd like that. You let go and think it's final, but then something comes up to remind you, and you have to continually choose to let go. It's definitely a hard one. Thanks for sharing, Kelly.
