I’m always working on this at home too. You know if the kids were never bad I don’t know how they would learn some of the harder lessons in life. People frequently learn by mistakes. Like the Prodigal Son returning… it’s just a touching story of course but it reminds me that I do have to have patients and in the end – it’s going to be just fine. Thought provoking post. ty

This is so well written!! I always tended to jump on things and many times this did lead to failure. Of course that has lead to alot of things I need to work on forgiveness with mostly with those I have loved and I felt they led me to that failure when really it was me. Its all a long story!
But thanks for a great post!!

I’ve had to learn the lesson of forgiving others, and even forgiving myself (for failures that are probably a lot less dire than they seem to me). Getting caught in the regrets of what “didn’t happen” or “could have happened” is a real trap, and even can become a bad habit.

I’m trying to shake off old thoughts now, and “take what is at hand” in my life, and “live it, for better or for worse.”

Thank you for that inspiration!
