Day 04 – Something you have to forgive someone for.
“You’ve promised to love, honor and cherish your husband in good times and bad. In sickness and in health may be one thing, but as long as you both shall live can be quite another. Betrayal can make the wedding vows seem like a mockery of your relationship. When your husband asks for forgiveness, it can be hard to give. However, if you love your husband, sometimes forgiveness is worth the effort.”
My Husband – I forgive him for leaving me. I forgive him for seeking communication in the wrong places. I forgive him for watching me cry cold heartedly. I forgive him for holding me and telling me everything was going to be okay when it really wasn’t. I forgive him for working himself so much so he didn’t think about what he was doing to his kids. I forgive him for not showing me the love and affection that I needed at the beginning of our relationship. I forgive him for lying to me, repeatedly. I forgive him, I love him, I am proud he is my husband.
My previous best friend – I forgive you for talking about me behind my back. I forgive you for lying to me. I forgive you.
I forgive anyone who has ever talked harsh things about me. I forgive anyone who has lied about me. I forgive anyone who has made mean gestures towards me and lied about it. I forgive anyone who smiles to my face and stabs me in the back. I forgive you.
Generally, forgiveness is a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. The act that hurt or offended you may always remain a part of your life, but forgiveness can lessen its grip on you and help you focus on other, positive parts of your life. Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for the one who hurt you.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean that you deny the other person’s responsibility for hurting you, and it doesn’t minimize or justify the wrong. You can forgive the person without excusing the act. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life. Katherine Piderman, Ph.D.

Life's Little Slices 
Thank you for a well written post…so much said with an economy of words…
So many people freed from your thoughts…it must feel good to have the “extra space” that those thoughts of those people were taking up.
I am pleased that your husband is the light of your life again…and that he
“smartened up” to what a wonderful wife he had.
Again, thank you for sharing.

Yeah, our mind can take complete control of our emotions if we let them. It is nice to have peace again.
Thank you Siggi for your kind words.
Great post. :0)

I forgive you too, and hugs and such 🙂
