Forgiveness

 Forgiveness is empowering.

Yesterday's session was uplifting, scary and peaceful all at the same time. I can't describe it any other way. I believe I am still processing the session. But, I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and I KNOW it is not a train this time.

After the hard work I accomplished yesterday, we get a few retired military members camped next to us that like to boost, toot their horns and act like them. I forgive these boys for their actions, but seeing more blow-hards like them today is a bit nerve wracking.

I offered forgiveness, but I also have to accept it. You can't forgive someone else, if you can't forgive yourself. I am still working on that one. But, it is getting easier. 

When I get a compliment, I can say thank you and not something to deflect the praise.
