An Exercise For Forgiveness

[kml]

That's our motto!

I've decided to embrace my confusion, my current lack of direction...I'm going to rename it...it's no longer "confusion" it's "a world of possibilities open to me". It's no longer "I don't like my job and want a new one" it's "while I'm grateful for what my current job offers me, I'm eager to try my hand at something new". it's no longer "I'm afraid of this semester at school" it's "I've got 12 weeks of challenging opportunities in front of me".

I've got to stop thinking in terms of black and white here..I'm on a path or not...fact is, I AM on a path, bumpy and confusing though it may be at times and even if I'm not sure right or left next...well, I do know how to put one foot in front of the other.

I think it IS time to get out of the rut...of thinking that my life is busted.

I've got a brand new m. with a brand new h. I'm brand new, too. Let's see what other qualities I can add to this mix!

Sage my dear, thank U thank U thank U.

Your self-revealing and re-framing
are ACE examples for me today.

I took time to write a forgiveness exercise
in my journal this weekend, inspired by this
thread. It's eye-opening. (I-opening, ya know?)

Love ya, grrrlll.

Really really relate to feeling lost
and sad about being lost -- and that envy monster --
whoa, yeah, sigh.

But my mantra grounds me: focus on my own magic,
my own dreaming. I'm not left out of Big Life.

You totally light up the room, grrrlll!

Love ya,

Bridget

Bridget -- Do you know how psyched I get when I see that you have posted on my thread? You rock!

I'm glad you find nuggets in my neanderings! I have to pull out the forgiveness exercise and start applying liberally to other people in my life

Positives from yesterday:

1. I feel like I cut myself some slack finally on being, well, just where I'm at. I know in my heart that my life and m and all are everything I want them to be IN THE PRESENT MOMENT...I get in trouble when I start wanting to rewrite the past or project the future.

2. Lots of great phone calls from h yesterday. He even sent me an email or two! I love hearing from him during the day.

3. We've got a date tonight...movie and perhaps cocktails first...He sounded psyched about it (I know I am!). We've got a busy week and weekend so carving off this time tonight is important. H asked me over the weekend if we could commit to having this be our last set of degrees (we'll have 6 between us when all is said and done). He said that he wanted more time with me instead of going to classes! Yup. That I can do.

Six????????

So have you both almost always been in school?

Glad to hear you are cutting yourself some slack!

Have a great evening!

Good Morning Sage,

I am so totally behind on everyone, but wanted to wish you a great day today!

[sage]

Pam -- Thanks for the morning greeting!

I'm behind in both work and school so I'm hitting and running, probably...

Positives:
1. Lots of great phone calls from h yesterday. I love when he calls during the day to connect.

2. We had a movie/dinner date last night. H seemed psyched to hang out with me...mentioned going on "a date with my baby" a couple of times!

3. When we got home we had time before it was bedtime so we snuggled on the couch. This is a fairly recent development that I LOVE. Anytime I'm holding h's hand or snuggled up against him is good!

i have a question , if you were able to forgive , and keep going on with your life , how about your spouse , how it's going to take them to forget the pain that they caused you and to come over thei affair , it was a very close realtionship and my spouse for the past two years making arrangements and plans with the ow for him to get D and they get married but she recently dumped him for a wealthier man , and i can really say that he is trying his best to make it up for me , but how long it;s going to take him to come over her , especailly that it didn't come from him to leave her , it's been only a month now , and i know it's going to take time but i keep having these fears feelings that he will never get over her , and has feelings for me as he to her , i am sory to hijaking ur thread but it's really making me think of all the negative things ,my thread is under newcomers under the name saloom and i think i should move to piecing ,
thnx and i wish you all luck with your life
