So, I'll pick this item - forgive and forget. I believe it is possible to forgive anything, but not possible to forget everything. Suppose you are the victim of drunk driver, and you lost your legs. You can forgive the other driver, but can you ever forget? Every morning when you wake up you are reminder, as you are throughout the rest of the day.<br /><br />Reconciliation is possible in nearly any situation, but true reconciliation doesn't require forgetfulness, just forgiveness.<br /><br />Great post, Kim!<br /><br />Note: I'vebeen away and have missed many good blogs, including yours.Warren Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956713921509659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-68203182883415643122009-07-13T22:02:40.535-04:002009-07-13T22:02:40.535-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-47193013628826867672009-07-10T11:53:57.554-04:002009-07-10T11:53:57.554-04:00Amen, Sister!Amen, Sister!Gerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355005063119095095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-75245601116788613902009-07-09T20:02:57.414-04:002009-07-09T20:02:57.414-04:00this is so good. so healthy. i think i need to p...this is so good. so healthy. i think i need to print it out and re-read it repeatedly!<br /><br />i also hate when people say that they have no regrets.

I've been struggling with an issue that this fits perfectly. <br /><br />Unfortunately it involves my sister whom I've always been close to. And because of that, in the past I would just nod my head and go along with her but about 6 months ago I decided I just couldn't do it any longer. And in a loving manner explained to her I had a differing opinion and explained the feelings I was having. <br /><br />Alas, she did not take it well and has not spoken to me since. I feel horrible about it. My husband was witness to the conversation and says I was not inappropriate or rude, just stated facts. <br /><br />I guess it's my fault that I've never stood up to her before (she is 18 years older than me and more like a second mom than a sister). But I had to start some time. <br /><br />Eventually, I think things will work out but it's hard in the interim. Thanks for making me feel good about my decision to stand my ground.T Rex Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581711492269619311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-34765710833837979232009-07-07T21:43:25.088-04:002009-07-07T21:43:25.088-04:00Thank you for this post, Kim.

When dealing with my in-laws, I've often tried to speak to them with honesty about my feelings. Unfortunately, they don't seem concerned to hear what I'm saying. I'll still speak my mind, but I won't allow their indifference or judgment to affect my sense of self or the value of what I feel.septembermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570525910483384484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-43261725212387430452009-07-07T21:34:29.219-04:002009-07-07T21:34:29.219-04:00I could learn alot from you!
