Words and Self Forgiveness...

"She could never go back and make some of the details pretty. All she could do was move forward and make the whole beautiful."

Terri St. Cloud

Talking with a friend the other day reminded me again how words can be destructive and hurtful or loving and kind.  Like a mirror held up to my soul I saw these destructive and hurtful words about people that haven't even been in my life for a very long time as something more. Those words were really directed at me and had nothing to really do with them. It shined a light on a place within me that is still in need of self-forgiveness. So today I will pick up this present moment and carry with me kinder more loving words for those around me and myself.

Breath...

My day was a challenge, but at the end of it, a friend reminded me "to breath." Just what I needed to end my day with. I tried hard to follow "Wherever you are, be all there." To not offer resistance and some present moments were successful and some where not. But I will just let the set sun on my troubles and "breath."

None...

"What you think of me is none of my business."

I was reminded of this quote yesterday and it was perfect for what I was feeling. I use to say this a lot to myself but it slipped from my memory, so I was grateful it was given to me just when I needed it.
