I'm glad you are feeling better today!
GAH....forgiving myself and others. LOL - I want to beat myself up for NOT forgiving myself and others....that's how deep rooted this stuff in, isn't it?!
Simplifying it all into obvious truths / cliches helps me for some reason.
These things are true:
We are all human.
We all make mistakes - including me.
We all have personality flaws - including me.
No one is perfect, and who the hell knows what perfect is anyway?!
Life is so, SO short.
People do crappy things for a range of reasons.
I do crappy things for a range of reasons.
No amount of guilt or shame will change the past.
No amount of stress or anxiety will change the future.
I want to be happy.
Every day is a new day.
I HAVE to let go in order to move forward and wholly enjoy each day for what it will bring me. Easier said than done!
