05/17/2017 – Gratitude Challenge Day 7

I want to share my gratitude today on the topic of forgiveness.  While I am not always the best with this one I am very grateful of the act of forgiving.  I do my best on this, but like most things if not all I have room to grow.  Holding onto things hurts you or myself more than the other person.  I have heard it once that you are allowing the hurt to stay in your head or heart rent free.  I think that is a good way to look at it.  Holding onto hurt or any negative feelings simply do not serve us.  Help someone you love to let go of the pain and to forgive.  Let them know it is for them and not for the other.  We cannot continue to grow if we are holding on to the past.  I make it my mission today to forgive all past hurts today and to apologize for holding on.
