"FORGIVE AND FORGET"

Forgiveness is a hard thing.
What is it about forgiveness that is so difficult, even when holding a grudge, or holding on to hurt, or holding yucky old memories makes us feel so rotten.
What is it that makes it so hard to let go?

Forgiving someone does not mean that you have to have them in your life.
Forgiving is not "giving up" or "giving in", forgiveness does not mean that you are saying that an injustice has not been done, or that you agree with what happened.
Forgiveness is a magic little decision that you make to free YOURSELF.

Bad feelings, hateful memories and grudges are little daggers that carve away at our soul day after day.
Those daggers come with handcuffs and chains and one of those big metal balls latched to our ankle.
Who wants to live like that?
Who  CAN  live like that without it completely holding us back from everything that is meant for us?

You are worth  EVERYTHING  it will take to forgive someone.
YOU  are worth it.
YOUR  LIFE  is worth it.
Give yourself a deadline to let it go...
then scream at the top of your lungs, write down everything that bothers you, get  ALL  of it out...
then when the deadline is up...
let it go...
forgive.....

It's time to move forward, sweet friend.
You can't move forward when you are chained to all that yucky stuff.

YOU CAN DO THIS. You can fully forgive. You can.

I will pray for you.
Let go.
Let God.

Love and light,
SAL ♥
