Have had to learn this lesson on many levels, and am just now getting to the last line of this little statement. For so long I thought that if I forgave someone for the pain they caused me, that I had to accept that what they did was ok. It makes a big difference when we can realize that the forgiveness is more for our benefit than for theirs. When we can come to terms that it is no longer going to take up residence in our hearts, then we can actually begin the healing process. I have to let it go, and forgive, so that I too can find forgiveness. But I do not have the capability to forget. However, I do have the choice of whether I allow myself to continually think about it, or move on. I have spent too long thinking about it, hashing out, trying to plead my cause of being understood, and now I choose to let it go and move on. Life is too short to waste precious moments on things so not worth my time. I am determined to win this one!
