TUESDAY CHIP---FORGIVING/RESENTMENT

I’ve learned to detach with love from my sister and brother-in-law.
My goal is take care of myself and stay far away from the
insanity of their drug and alcohol abuse. Setting boundaries
has been a process, today I am trying for forgiveness with
my boundaries.. I can not come out and tell them I forgive
them, as they refuse to acknowledge any wrong on their
part. But I can forgive them in my prayers and I can whisper
I forgive you. It’s not important for them to hear it, it’s
important to me to feel it. I don’t think it’s possible to love
someone and not forgive them….. Today, I am not feeling
resentful, I am feeling the peace of forgiving myself and
those I love….

Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl

Had a mini-resentment going last night. The nice thing it is barely a thought and not eating me up in today. My partner was critical of a couple of bids I made playing bridge last night. I tried to compensate and bid more as the night when on and when I did, she went down in the contract. She always expects the worst. Last night we were 4th over all and 1st in B class which is the grade of players we are. The last time we came in 3rd and she was surprised we did so well. Scoring is done on a percentage basis and when the winners get high scores over 60% then it only stands to reason the middle scores are lower.

The nice things about resentments is that you don't have to hang onto them.
