Theme for Today: FORGIVENESS

Alright the theme for my 30 Day Gratitude Challenge is FORGIVENESS. I was reflecting on that earlier and was saying to myself that I had already forgave everyone in my life that I felt had done me wrong. If I had not then they would still have power over me. That is never good. Life must go on.

I got a new perspective on the theme when I checked my Facebook a little bit ago. My motivational guru Shanel Cooper-Sykes posted her status on all of her pages asking if we have forgiven OURSELVES for decisions and mistakes we have made that got us where we are today. That got me to thinking...I don't believe I have yet. I still beat myself up for things that I did 20 years ago! I know, right? Lol. Needless to say I really need to work on that.

I believe in holding ourselves accountable for all that we do. There is a point where we can beat ourselves up a little too much over a few issues. That's what I'm guilty of. I need to just let things go when it comes to my mistakes. We all make them. We have to learn. I need to do just that and move on. I have been working on that for many years. It's something that I STILL need to work on.

I will be doing a lot of reflection today concerning FORGIVENESS. Some praying will be done. I will be just a bit closer to forgiving myself after the day is through. I may not be there completely but I will be making progress. :0)

It's time for me to get back to doing my do. Fun things to come for me this evening. ;-)
