forgiveness

For mixing blue and orange

not calling on her birthday

eating that second bowl

For last autumn's leaves still ungathered in May

expired insurance policy

letting the avocado spoil

For waiting twelve years to get another eye exam

cat toys rolled too far under the sofa

coffee gone cold

For kitchen grime and bathroom scum

collection of hair in the bristle brush

remains of toothpaste in the sink

For prayers skipped over in favor of sleep

faking interest in work meetings

lying about how I'm doing

For quitting too soon

saying yes when I meant no

watching while doing nothing

Inspired by card from TellMe Insight Cards, Vol. II. Take five minutes on the page today and see where "I forgive myself..." leads you. xoxo

Let a card choose you and lead you onto a page of your journal, a personal letter or the beginnings of a memoir or poem.

Take turns drawing a random card to evoke personal storytelling. Practice compassionate listening in return.

Get beyond talking about the weather and learn about someone through their stories, memories and insights.
