As we age we realize how important it is to talk very carefully— for feelings can be hurt and destroyed by our careless acts and words.
We also understand that it’s time to forgive ourselves and set our lives free—of those painful things we wish we had done better/differently in the past. Time to stop being a prisoner of memory, fear, even disappointment—those things can’t be changed.
We can now open the window and let the sad pour out and the wonderful beautiful world pour in.
No more self-sabotaging thoughts!
Not for you.
Not for me.
Not for any of us.
2025 is a gift we get to enjoy—- each moment, each step of the way.

Sometimes it’s harder for us to forgive ourselves than for others to forgive us for the same offence. It’s good to let go of all that.
