Forgive and Forget

Let's get out of our own way…

I don’t write people off who didn’t believe in me before… I’m grateful for their faith in me now.

… as we turn the corner, it might get rocky, for we have stuffed our feelings… volcanic (like we do)… after escaping an abusive relationship, when it’s safe… we start to share our hurt and pain…

A grudge, or chip on the shoulder helps no one…

We will look for support amongst each other—there was no rational way to make sense of what was happening in the middle of it all… even though we knew all along what was right and wrong…

Still, some teeter on the fence (seductive)… 
using our pain to draw others in… 
fishing for compliments.

As we move into each new day with a new style of optimism… we will flourish, lives will change for the better, more will be successful… we will not be held back or judged…. overwhelmed, stomped down, or made to feel less than… We can breathe and smile and participate in what’s good in this world—There is a lot to be grateful for… assimilate.

And, sometimes, we can forgive too quickly, and it won’t stick…
