Forgive and Forget....

I think this is something I've done all my life. I have a hard time holding a grudge and life is too short to let those sort of emotions rule you.

Forgiving is easy....just allow yourself to do that...and let it go. For your own well-being.

Forgetting is hard....maybe the word should be "learn". Knowledge of why something happened is a powerful tool.

Um ... sounds like there's a long story behind this short post.

Not really....

I responded to David McMahon's blog...but it did strike a cord with me.

It's a very good question....can you forgive and forget?

I have many stories that belong in this category. If I was unable to forgive I'd be an angry, bitter person. As I get older I'm finding it easier and easier to let things go...life is too short and too precious to dwell on the past. I probably don't forget..per se...but the sharp edges dull and I'm able to put things in perspective. Then file them away as "experiences" I've learned from.
