Affirmation for February 2, 2012: Remember to Forget
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a canceled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.- Henry Ward Beecher
Thought of the day:
We’ve all had opportunities to forgive and forget. Doesn’t it seem like the forgiving part is a lot easier than the forgetting? And how well can we really forgive if we haven’t let go of all the bad memories? If the person in question is worth forgiving in order to keep them in your life, or even if you’re only forgiving to move on, for yourself, and you have no desire to ever see that person again, it is best let go of all that has been done to upset you and move on You can remember the lesson, without all the details. Give yourself the opportunity to truly forgive, and forget.
Have a forgiving day!
