Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. And keeping one’s heart soft and squishy in all this, instead of letting/encouraging it to harden and calcify is an excellent path, IMHO.
Becoming the best version of oneself. The person you were/are meant to be. Yes, it requires investing into listening and absorbing the small moments around you. Sights, sounds, sensations abound. It’s amazing how fulfilling and rejuvenating a wee break to smell the roses, a wee break from the busy paced modern life, truly is.
I’m with you, it’s hard to beat relaxing with friends and family around a campfire. My kids, now , express how much they loved those moments/times.

One will/might forget what you did for them, yet they never forget how you made them feel.
It sounds like everything is coming together pretty well. Just under a month to go. Doing good my friend.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
