Hi in Oz. Good luck with the weather, we have had so much rain and wind this month.⛈ And lots of flooding. Stay safe and hope you don’t lose electricity.

Went out today and bought three hanging flower baskets and two aloe plants that I have to re-pot for the back deck.🌺🌼🌸 Will do the front next month so all the deer can have a feast. No time to cook dinner so the pizza is ordered.🍕

Good luck to your family’s team.🏀 We don’t have a NBA team either so I’m not too into basketball.

Prayers for your dad tomorrow.🙏 Enjoy your pineapple upside down cake and I will enjoy the cheesecake whatever kind it is.🍰 Love and hugs to you, Poppy and the kitties.🤗💖

@sheba2011

Getting ready to get the van. I wanted to pop in to say please stay safe. I just saw your weather alerts and hope you three are OK. The larger storms will mostly occur overnight. Guess you will have one ear on a pillow and the other to listen for storm control. Hope all kitties are safe.

Empowered Forgiveness

If we can remember that our response to others is important, we can begin to realize that honesty and forgiveness go hand in hand.

In life, there will always be times when we are negatively affected by the actions of another person. When this happens, we often receive an apology. More often than not, we say, “It’s all right,” or “ It’s okay.” By saying this, we are allowing, accepting, and giving permission for the behavior to happen again. When we say “thank you,” or “I accept your apology,” we are forced to sit in our feelings rather than ignore them.

There are many of us who feel that it is easier to brush off how we really feel than to express our discomfort with something that has happened to us. While this may initially seem like the best thing to do, what it does is put us into an unending pattern of behavior. Since we are not honest with another person, we continue the cycle of letting them overstep our emotional limits time and time again. By doing this, we place ourselves in the position of victim. We can put an end to this karmic chain by first acknowledging to the other person that we accept their request for forgiveness; often a simple “thank you” is enough. To truly create a greater sense of harmony in our relationship, however, we need to gently, and with compassion, express our innermost concerns about what has transpired. By taking a deep breath and calling upon the deepest parts of our spirit, we can usually find the right words to let the other person know the consequences of what they have done.

If we can remember that our response to others is important, we can begin to realize that trust and forgiveness go hand in hand. And when we react in a way that engenders a greater amount of honesty and candor, we will establish a more positive and empowering way of being and interacting with others.
