Set others free to achieve and experience the path that leads to their highest good and you, too, will become free to find yours. --Melody Beattie
Learn a lesson from the redwoods. Let them teach the power of patience and calm. Life goes on. Things happen. People change. Times move along. There are stories to live and stories to tell, but we can be calm and know that, always, all is well. --Melody Beattie
"Forgiving is not forgetting, it's letting go of the hurt." --Mary McLeod Bethune
"Life holds so much--so much to be so happy about always. Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can be felt only if you don't set conditions." --Artur Robinstein
Applaud others when they run. Console them when they fall. And cheer them when they recover. As water is to a flower so is praise to the heart of another. --Unknown

*******letting go of a LOT of DNA family to go their own separate way has freed me from continuing expectations, resentments when , yea, I deserve to be treated with resepct and not be handed crumbs, but going to shallow well people for full love is crazy, but that is what I did...then I decided I was worth more than crumbs...I let them go...walked away...some I said something to as I was leaving, some I did not...it was a case to case basis....as I get better in recovery/detachment, I am much more quiet as I "fade away" and disappear, however it they were a very close relationship, once upon a time, I will give them an explanation as to why we are no longer a match and I want to move on and wish them the best.....Either way, I am FREE

******the California redwoods are quite a site to see...long standing, through all kinds of weather disasters, they stand tall, quiet, I remember when I Ex and i went to see them, they gave off awesome energy....and I like wash Melody says about life happens, people come and go, times moves along, but I can stand calm and quiet when I work steps 1,2,3 with my Higher Power and just say I am willing to trust that I will, as long as I am doing the right thing by me and others, be OK
"Forgiving is not forgetting, it's letting go of the hurt." --Mary McLeod Bethune
***Forgiving and forgetting are trigger words to me...the offender wold beat my mother senseless, injure her and he abused me, but "oh lets forgive and forget----fresh start" he would say...oh yea, the devil wanted to be let off the hook...no amends he wold offer.....I do believe that some crimes and people are just not forgivable and he was the ONLY one I was unable to forgive, but I AM giving up the hate and resentment....for ME....Bottom feeders like that are just NOT worth the energy it takes to hate and resent....HP I give to you ANY and ALL resentments/grudges I may be harboring against anyone and I leave that to you...I ask to carry your lighter yoke as you offered to carry my heavier one.....
