Journal Entry #8: Family & Forgiveness

"A happy family is"

        A family is there to help you out when you need it. A family is not just limited by people who are related to you by blood, but they can be anyone close to you. My family is expanded wide, ranging from blood relatives, to very close friends. Sometimes they get on my nerves, but that is what family is for, right?! No matter how mad they can make me, i will have a spot in my heart for them waiting.

        Sometimes i might not think that certain people don't have a place in my heart, that will never be true.  I may feel that way in that particular moment of time, but it won't stay like that forever. I learned to forgive, but forgetting is a little bit harder to do. I will always remember what caused a big squabble between the ones i love.

        That shall not change, but it can be hidden with in my brain. In a part that will allow me to remember what happened, but yet i keep it locked away. Well what is the point of dwelling in the past, it will never be rewritten. So the only thing that you can do is live in the moment. Be glad for the people in your life, be glad that they care for you like you care for them.

        Live in the moment, because life is to short to dwell in the past. No one can change what had happened in your or my past, it will always remain that way. So just practice the act of forgiveness, no matter what had happened between your family and your self. I had my share of family troubles but with hard work , and a little forgiveness, those troubles are nothing but a distant memory.

I appreciate this expression of your philosophy on certain truths we all share.

A life of passion is an honest life.

With those I care about, I would rather hear directly if I've wronged them, when it is most poignant, than for things to fester.

It is better to dance through it than to avoid a perception of a slight or an injury.

I am a fairly empathic person and I can usually see through attempts to mask.
I may not know the source of discord...but I can smell it.

With my sigoth, I will probe (sometimes tenaciously) to discover what is wrong. Although this may frustrate her as an interference to her pace and style of processing, it is generally a catalyst for a return to co-creative harmony.

Thanks Res...

Very true statements forgiveness is very important as is family.
You only get one family, other may be like it but not the same.
I often however say I can forgive but never ask me to forget.
