I have been hurt in the past. I have ALWAYS forgiven those that hurt me but never forget. Sometimes I have wondered if that has made me a bad person or if I really truly forgave if I was unable to forget. I came to a conclusion, this year, that the easiest thing on this earth to do is to forgive. Forgetting, however, is impossible.
So as I was sitting here this morning fuming about some things that happened earlier this year and trying to figure out how on earth I was going to really, truly "forgive and forget" I came across this on a board I frequent....."You can and should forgive the trespass or hurt, and that makes you a good person. But it makes you stupid if you trust or tolerate someone again without reason. If you forgive, that's a change YOU have made. What change have they made? "
So that is my random thought for today. I have a teething 2 month old so I have limited time on the computer. Stay tuned for Dreams Pt. 2 sometime this week!!

I'm waiting for dreams #2. I need something to read. I don't want to talk about forgiveness.....I don't think I've figured that all out yet. With me...until the hurt from the memory goes away...I haven't actually forgiven....see what I mean...I haven't got it figured out. Love ya Aunt Pam
