When I remember how fallible *I* am, it's a heck of a lot easier to forgive the fallibility of someone else. <BR/><BR/>Not that it ain't still a challenge in the bleak times. Injury doesn't go away with a wish and pledge to forgive. But at least it's easier to bear over the years that way, yes?Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682072668997410668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404305187176881635.post-90787877627491432942008-09-21T16:56:00.000-04:002008-09-21T16:56:00.000-04:00Oh, yeah.

After the big ones... the little disappointments aren't no nevermind at all. <BR/><BR/>It sounds horrid, but it's true.. best way to happiness is to lower your expectations. :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682072668997410668noreply@blogger.com
