Life is about forgiveness and letting go

I have a wonderful gift, something that I am overly grateful for. I have the gift of forgiveness. I have learned that life is short and that we all make mistakes. I want more then ever when I hurt someone or do something I know was wrong for a person to forgive me. I think we all have this gift, however sometimes we are stubborn, and we don't want to forgive. Sometimes the hurt comes from a deep place inside and we don't want to let it go. I also believe that sometimes we miss out when we don't forgive, we miss a great opportunity to grow as a person. I think it also allows us to truly get to know someone when we forgive, because it lets us into their vulnerable side. The tender side of a person that we should grasp onto. I find it is the moments when our true weakness comes out that we really allow someone into our world a little. I believe in not just second chances, but sometimes third as well. I have learned that in life we have to stop keeping score. Otherwise how can we truly move ahead. Forgive people even when they hurt you, realize they are human and we all need to be more open to allowing others to have their faults.

Baby bumps and birthday spanks

I get to have a lovely walk with my friend Dawn this eveing. You know there is nothing better then seeing a friend go through her first pregnancy. The glow, the unchartered territory they are making there way to. My friend Dawn is amazing. She is the kind of person that lights up a room and is always smiling. She has a way about her that just fills me with joy! Some people ooze positivity and she is truly one of them. She is married to an equally wonderful man Graeme. He is someone that she literally met randomly one summer and it became a VERY long distance relationship. It is amazing how a love can be so destined. I am blessed to know such a free spirit. A day can be made better just by spending a moment in her presence. She always knows what to say to make me smile when I am having a bad day and I hardly ever hear her utter a negative word. The child she is carrying is blessed beyond belief to have such wonderful parents.

I must send a VERY happy birthday to my lovely cousin Larissa! She will be getting a birthday smack from me this evening!

Have a fabulous weekend my friends and remember try saying hello to a stranger, it just might make their day!
