"Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got". I am not sure where this quote came from, but it is one that I fall back on when it comes to forgiveness. I have learned that there are people in your life, along the way, who will wrong you. You have two choices. To forgive or to harbor resentment. Your choice to forgive should not be based on an apology you get from that person. Some people will never apologize for their actions, regardless of how egregious that action was, but you need to choose to forgive and move on. That is the key to good mental health. Is it easy? No. Necessary, yes.
Started off a bit heavy today, but that is what was on my heart today. I am learning how to move past the things in my life that bother me and that I waste too much time and energy on. It's part of my "Let it Go" theme. I have such a happy and amazing life, that I hate to muddy it with unnecessary messes. Rainbows and butterflies, people. That is what life should be about.
Princess got her report card today. All A's and one B. I am so proud of her. She is such an amazing person and I am so blessed to have her in my life. She is like a mini me, but so much more. She has all my good qualities times a million. She speaks her mind and likes to be right, always. I like the fact that she stands up for herself, but we are still in that learning curve, that sometimes, she is not always in the right and not everything can go her way. She takes defeat hard and strives for perfection. She did not get that from me. I am not a perfectionist, at all. There can be a few flaws in things I am perfectly okay with that. This perfectionism will take her to some amazing places and I am so excited to see what her future brings. Right now, it is all about cheer, boys, make up and why do I have acne. It's so fun to watch.
Got any exciting weekend plans??? You know I live for my free time, especially the weekends. We are going to a birthday party tomorrow night and I have no plans for Saturday. Youngest step son and hubby coach have soccer tryouts Saturday night, so I am going to find some trouble to get into. My JP gets back from the beach Saturday, so I may go hang out with her and catch up on the latest going ons on 30A. We have claimed that as our home away from home and I am very much looking forward to September when we all go back for our girls week. Sunday, is lake day with the yayas! Love the lake. It is one of my happy places and to share it with my yayas is a bonus.
Plan something new and fun this weekend. Life is too short to waste away!
Hugs!
