Maybe it's just me, but this morning, like a lot of mornings lately, I woke up feeling grateful. Grateful that I love someone that loves me, even though he's far from perfect. Grateful that I've had enough challenges in my life to know myself well enough to know that I can handle the really hard things. And grateful that I make a choice everyday to see that even though people are flawed and they make terrible mistakes, and they hurt other people deeply sometimes, everyone is doing the best they can. I'm throwing judgement in the trash, and although I'll continue to have really hard days like yesterday once in a while, I'll keep myself sweet (not bitter), and I won't lose faith that we need the dark times in order to recognize the sunshine.
forgive as deeply as you love
