What's really helped me in the forgiveness department is making a list (Pros and Cons) of Smokey. Looking at Smokey in a really fair, balanced way. It's takes a lot of the sting outta it.

For Example:


Pros

Good-Looking
Funny
Smart about certain things (science, wildlife)
High I.Q.
Playful

Cons

Ridiculously short legs/outta proportion with his body
Less-than-well-endowed...much less (And, NOW I HAVE SOMETHING TO COMPARE IT TO!!!)
Sophomoric--still thinks passing the gas is funny
Kinda stupid about the important things in life...misses the big picture
Drug-addled
Ego-maniacal and grossly insecure all at the same time...
Immature

This really helps me to see the WHOLE picture and accept that this man was human...not a super-evil villain or a super-awesome/love of my life...JUST HUMAN. Period.
