Act 38 - Wipe the slate

Today’s act is all about forgiveness.  I know that there is a particular person who I have struggled to forgive for past hurts.  Today I have chosen to forgive and resolved to push away any potential bitter thoughts if they re-emerge.  I have chosen to accept and embrace the relationship we have today rather than mourn the closeness we once had.  It is time to let go of the past, to stop dwelling on what I cannot change and move forward.  People are human, they change and lives move on and it is time to stop letting bitterness control me.

Act 9 - Listen, actually

Today's act encourages us to listen and give our full attention, acknowledging that there are people who we tune out from and I know that I am guilty of this with my mother-in-law especially when she talks about the am-dram group she is involved with. Focusing on listening made me aware of two things - firstly their need for a replacement pianist but also my need to forgive. I tune out the conversation because of my hurt feelings stemming from my days of being part of that group. I need to forgive the past and let it go.
