Day 4: Something you have to forgive someone for
Oh man, this one is actually kind of hard! I generally don't hold grudges, so trying to think of something I've been holding on to is really difficult. The first thing that comes to mind is the way that someone who I thought was a very good friend basically cut me out. After spending over a year getting to know each other, all of a sudden, poof! I sort of understand why it happened, but that didn't make me like it or be OK with it. It also didn't help when, nearly 2 years later, there was a brief reappearance during a difficult time and then poof again. I haven't spoken to this friend now in I think close to 3 years; I probably never will again. But I've found, over the years, that its not necessary for the person being forgiven to know that they're being forgiven. The peace that it brings me is enough. So, I think I'm finally ready to put aside harsh feelings and move along. Obviously the friendship wasn't what I thought, I don't need people like that in my life, and I'm doing just fine.
