Today I am Thankful for the ability to forgive.  Many people just don't seem to have this ability or they find it very difficult to forgive those that have hurt or wronged them.  I know I have been hurt a lot and holding on to that hurt doesn't do me any good, it is actually unhealthy to hold on to it.  It seems to me that those people that forgive and move on tend to have more peace within them and I for one want to be at peace.  These days I try not to hold grudges and move on fairly quickly.  Can one forgive too quickly? 
There are some issues from my childhood that I have held on to until just recently and learned to forgive and it has helped the relationship to grow and change into a healthy friendship.  If I could move on from that, then I can forgive, move on and transform my end of any relationship! 

P.S.  I have to throw in a funny Thankful ~ I think many women out there are Thankful that they have a womens only bathroom they can use at work and don't have to worry about sitting on a wet toilet seat!!! Photobucket

I wholeheartedly agree. There have been people whom I actually harbored hatred for in the past because of the things they did continuously to hurt me and the ones I love and it only ate me up and made me miserable and I had no peace. I finally realized that I forgive not so much for the other person, but for ME, so I can be free and at peace. I feel karma will take care of people in the way that is most helpful for them to learn what they need to learn so I can just sit back and take care of myself. Namaste :)

I feel like giving and trust work in tandem.   GIVING In some areas giving is easy for me, sometimes it is too easy.  I will give of my time, energy, strength, love (to those who are closest to me), determination and dedication to my workplace and commitments to others to my detriment and decline of health.  Giving of my finances is another story.  Money is tight and a negative bank account is a reoccurring factor the past couple of months.    TRUST That is a hard one.  Let down and disappointment one after another because I trusted people.  They were probably the wrong people to trust and I probably expected more than I should have.  Then again did I really expect more than I should have?  Lately, over the years, my thought process has been if I don't invest in GOD, people or myself I can't be let down.  I have been working on changing that thought process but it is not easy.  I am not going to live in f...

Inner Strength - your survival instinct...  I am so Thankful that I have inner strength, the drive and determination that comes out at that last possible second when you think you have nothing left in you. I am a pretty stubborn person and I won't "allow" things to come crashing down and take away my spirit, I just keep trucking on and on and on like the energizer bunny. Something gets in my way and I either plow right through it like a linebacker or I stuff it down inside and try to deal with it later.  I have to say with my current situation I have taken the bull by the horns and just done what needs to be done as far as getting a place of my own and taking on the bills etc, but the emotional side of it I have stuffed deep down inside of me and it keeps trying to rear it's ugly head the past couple of days.  I am sad about the separation and about how things have turned out, it breaks my heart.  But you go on, I have learned to let go of things.  I am in cont...
