Today’s forgiving journal is about looking for the good.
I was really struggling this morning. My mind wouldn’t leave me alone, I kept replaying a situation in my head regarding someone I cared deeply for. At one point on my morning run, all of a sudden, I flashed on the immense good in this person.
It was truly beautiful….one of those magical moments in my life. A milestone on the path of forgiving!
Looking for the good opened me in that moment to forgive, let go, and be grateful — with myself, this person, and the situation. I feel so much love just thinking about it.
Just in case there’s more to forgive, I’m going to my forgiving journal:
1 – I forgive myself for judging myself for all the times I doubted the good in myself. I forgive myself for judging myself for not seeing the good in other people. I forgive myself for judging myself period!
2 – I let all of this go into this really cool, beautiful Light peace bowl, and I set it free.
3 – I am grateful for writing this journal. I am grateful for knowing I don’t need the perfect words. I am grateful for this next breath.
****
There’s one more thing I’d like to do and that is to forget the judgment. So that I may extend my love even more. Right now, the best way I know to do this is to act as if it’s already done. Wow, that’s freeing!
I love you.
Love,
Debbie
