What I received this year…
A forgiving spirit – Let me tell you how many times I’ve held on to the wrongs that people have done to me. I will cut people from my life with a quickness but I never forget the hurt. It takes years. I still feel pain if it is was someone who I was truly close to. But, I realized that there is a time for everything and I have to accept that some people will play major roles during minor times and others will play minor roles during major times and that is okay. It’s seasonal. I need to forgive those that I feel should have stepped up and had my back or just been there for me.
But, I didn’t. I would hold on to that pain. I received a forgiving spirit. I needed to forgive people who had wronged me but more importantly I needed to forgive myself for thinking that I could have done more for them to still be in my life. I learned that it is okay to just let go and be satisfied that it is for the best. A forgiving spirit is a beautiful thing.

Thank you. I know right? It keeps us in bondage, but I am learning to release and forgive myself for thinking that I need to stay in unhealthy situations.

This post really spoke to me. I’ve always found it harder to forgive myself for not doing more, should I have said more, said less, done more…Thank you for the inspiring read.

They say holding onto anger is like trying to hold on fire with your hands. You’re the one getting burn.
Letting go brings release. 🙂
