Forgive on Fridays

Today's quote....Keeping score of old scores and scars, getting even and one-upping, always make you less that you are.
                                                                                                    Malcolm Forbes

Today is the Friday of a long week end. May 24 weekend or Victoria Day weekend.  Let's go with the Victoria Day and feel victorious about forgiving someone. You can forgive someone without even talking to them.
An exercise you may try is...... close your eyes and visualize the person you are wanting to forgive. Think of the situation that caused you to feel the hurt. Picture yourself forgiving them. Think about how long you have had negative feelings toward them.....Has this been a good experience for you????? Has feeling this anger helped you be a better person???? Instead think about what you can learn from this situation. Maybe it can help you realize how people feel when they are talked to in a certain way, how they feel when someone doesn't keep their word etc. Then you can concentrate on making sure you never make someone feel that way.
Don't forget to forgive and then LET IT GO. Don't keep rehashing the situation.

Have a great long week end. We're heading off to Bruce's family cottage in Baysville and my brother and his wife's house in Huntsville(half hour away from each other) We'll be spending good times with family.
