Sometimes it takes as much energy as running a marathon. And feeling as tired as a 12 mile hike with no shoes.

Forgiveness can be easy one day, and more difficult the next. Keep trying. I do.

Yes, you are totally right here. I think sometimes we are more in a mood to protect ourselves and the forgiveness is a way of letting it all go. But other times, we feed that self righteousness, or even self pity, and it’s harder to let it go, even though we should. You are so right that all we can do is keep trying.

True! It helps to keep the relationship working… this also holds the fact that we should take everything with a little bit of humor.

Just because someone (family or friend) treats you poorly is no reason to stop being the good person you are. It’s hard, but two wrongs don’t make a right. 🦋
