a Thought.

I had an eye-opening experience today that made me realize how important forgiveness is. These quotes express much better what I was feeling:
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."-Mahatma Gandhi


"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future."-Paul Boese


"Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it."-Mark Twain

Whatever it was, I hope that little photo of a flower has you feeling better. It made my morning, along with the quotes, of course. The Mark Twain one is my fav.
