Unforgiven

I believe in the power of forgiveness. There's not a person whom I haven't forgiven. I've found through experience that to forgive someone not only helps them, but it also helps you. It helps you to put it out of your mind, so you can forget about it. I've learned that the power of forgiveness has no limits and heals age-old wounds. One person I've found very hard to forgive, however, is myself. If I've ever screwed up about anything I beat myself up about it. Eventually I can get over it but it takes a while to realize who the feelings REALLY come from, ya know? But to be Unforgiven by someone really hurts me, and it takes much longer to get over it. The only times its happened, though, were only for stupid reasons, so I haven't had much of a problem with it, thankfully.
I found a bookmark that has a poem on it that I really like:
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won, had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse, that you must not quit.
There's another I've found, but I'll save it for another post, lol
