Forgiveness Fills Our Life With Happiness

I had a wonderful weekend celebrating father's day with two terrific guys.  My dad and my husband are two terrific dads.  They both are good examples of what a great dad is.  I have been blessed to have them both in my life.  Thank you Dad for being a loving example of forgiving others and looking at the bright side of life.  Thank you for all the smiles and fun times and always being there to support and help me.  Thank you my husband for always being there for our children and working hard at being a survivor for them.  They are great children who are a reflection of your love and devotion to them both.  Happy Father's Day !!!

Forgiveness really does set you free and allows you to let go of painful things that hurt you.  My last blog post on not letting others define you has gone to rest quietly in cyber space.  I wrote it to let go of holding onto to something that was very painful for such a long time.  I posted it for the world and then I let it go.  I have felt so free after letting go of it.  The best thing to do is to let someone know that they have hurt you instead of letting it grow inside you and consume you.

I am proud to say that I have accomplished a lot in my life time.  I am very proud of being a member of the National Honor Society.  That was a great honor for me.  My academic accomplishments also meant a lot to me.  I remember how proud my dad was when he saw me graduate with my honor cord.  I was one of the first in the family to graduate from college with a Bachelor of Science Degree and then become an RN. I thank my dad for financially making that happen for me. I am also proud of being a teacher and all the wonderful students I met over the years.   I am proud of who I am and I have changed my life so much by letting go of the the negative people that hurt me.  I no longer feel worthless.  My life is filled with friends and people that love me.  I am no longer dependent on others for my self worth.  I have proven to myself that I am the one that makes my happiness.  The more I have let go of the past the stronger I have become. 

If people were as loving and loyal as dogs and showed no prejudice towards one another, we would have a wonderful world.  I thank Laney everyday for that unconditional love and being beside me and giving me a purpose to live.  She gave me strength to find myself again.  I am sending love to her in heaven.

Life is beautiful !!
