Forgiveness is much more about us, than it is about others. When we choose to forgive ourselves for how we felt or acted we can let go of regret and self-incrimination.
It is a wonderful gift that can set us free and allows us to see things in a clear and honest way.

Forgiveness
Forgiveness is something I try to do for myself even when I'm not sure I can do it for someone else. The pain that causes me to withdraw or be upset can be over when I release the resentment that I have built up.
Before I can do that I must remember that the answer always lies with me. Whatever happened was because of something that I did or allowed. If I have unreasonable expectations, unclear boundaries or fail to see the truth in the situation there will be a problem. It is easier to blame others but I have to take responsibility for my own thoughts and actions.
We all have different paths in life and I respect that. I am trying to be kinder to myself, learn my lesson and move on.
