The Gift Of Forgiveness

We have heard that it's better to forgive and forget, but no one told us how challenging it would be to clean up the baggage we have carried for years. The sense of betrayal and hurt may be as fresh as the first day we experienced it. Although we may be fuzzy about the exact details of why we are upset, the raw emotions still lingers. As hard as we try to hold on to these feelings, as time goes by, we tend to loose some of the intensity that we initially felt. Keeping these misplaced emotions within us may become toxic at some point and may eventually affect us physically. We have an opportunity to heal by taking care of these festering wounds. Know that although we may never understand the actions and behaviors of others, we have the power to release the negative feelings that have kept us from moving forward. Today, forgive those who you have harbored ill feelings for, so that you can move forward on your path. There is no room for toxicity, when you have so much to accomplish in this lifetime. Give yourself the gift of forgiveness and release all to the universe.

 they often times fall to disrepair...

(Although this house hasn't been tended to, it still has a lot of character. There is beauty in it's rustic structure and overgrown foliage. I'm not sure everyone sees how special this place truly is.)
