Forgiveness is extremely difficult to achieve and can be very difficult, but it is so important to one's own peace and mental health. Focussing on the beauty and the positive, taking responsibility for myself, these are things I consciously try to do because I know it is the only way to find contentment, and yet it is so hard sometimes. You and Ramblin' Man are blessed in each other. xxMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-91649963237604557602017-08-23T06:55:14.495-07:002017-08-23T06:55:14.495-07:00Daily life always tells us it.

Yet I took care of him in his later years and as much as I hated doing it I loved the fact I stayed true to myself and took care of him because he was my father. I forgive easily if someone just says I'm sorry. But in today's world we seem to be too much about calling people name, blaming others and never reaching out towards the middle. A very nice post...Cathy @ My 1929 Charmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152030881064923919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-40071276191428522332017-08-19T12:08:55.322-07:002017-08-19T12:08:55.322-07:00I was very surprised to read about your unhappy ch...I was very surprised to read about your unhappy childhood as I only remmeber posts about your mother when she was old and apparetly a lot nicer. I'm not the best at forgiving - but I know when to "let go" which is not as noble but prevents from holding gridges, which is I think the worst, both on a personal level and on a historical one.Magali@TheLittleWhiteHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787605249681670341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-75516316498800750852017-08-19T10:55:06.226-07:002017-08-19T10:55:06.226-07:00Tant d'amour et de bonté chez vous : c'est...Tant d'amour et de bonté chez vous : c'est une belle leçon de vie..

I feel so sad for all the people that have such great hate in their hearts, I can't imagine going through life that way. I do pray that God changes their hearts and help them to find love and peace in their life instead of all that hate. As always I have enjoyed your beautiful pictures to go with your post!

Becoming more resilient! Not reacting but responding and standing tall all the while maintaining healthy habits and avoiding those that add fuel to the fire.<br />The MSM is a paid group that does add fuel to the fire and we don't want to see it flare up all the time. <br />Sending you hugs for a happy weekend,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-35667568960223769482017-08-18T15:05:19.688-07:002017-08-18T15:05:19.688-07:00Karen, thank you for sharing this part of your lif...Karen, thank you for sharing this part of your life. Sometimes it seems others have perfect lives compared to ours. Compared to your suffering in childhood, I realize mine wasn't that drastic. But there was little time for love in my home when I was a child. My father left when I was 5, which brought feelings of abandonment. We rarely saw him through the years. Life leaves scars. It's how we get past our bad beginnings and live our lives so as not to repeat them that makes all the difference.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-37835294634996683852017-08-18T13:02:04.836-07:002017-08-18T13:02:04.836-07:00Beautiful post!

In my life, right now, there is a lot tension and we need to practice forgiveness. None of this compares to your childhood experiences, and I send you a huge hug for sharing this with us, it must have been difficult to open yourself up in this way but I think you are helping many of us realize that the past doesn't shape us in its likeness. Your husband is a true survivor as well, and I think it's a great thing you found each other. I'm happy to hear your mother overcame her disease, I hope she is doing well. <br /><br />You are a remarkable soul, I wish I could actually sit down and talk with you--we are more alike than you know!<br /><br />Thank you again for a very powerful post that will touch many of your readers as it did me.<br /><br />Jane xxxBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-36757193671925596642017-08-17T18:21:07.975-07:002017-08-17T18:21:07.975-07:00Hi Karen, what a powerful message!
