good question (as always) val. i will have to think about that one. maybe i think that if i can forgive, i will not feel any more pain...
That makes sense - I think there will always be that pain - even if a little sting. But I will challenge you by saying that shouldn't be a reason to forgive... plus I know it doesn't really work anyway.
For ME, the pain subsiding is what opening up more avenues for the forgiveness to happen.

Oh boy - do I feel ya there... but remember it's the journey that matters.
When you think of any achievement - do you cherish crossing the finish line? or all the steps that go you there?
Take time to cherish the steps!

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
