I Resolve To® . . . Forgive Myself & Others, Learn Lessons & Move Forward! - Day 264

ForgiveSeptember21
Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk.  If you twist it into something it was never meant to be, it can make you a doormat or an insufferable manipulator.  Forgiving seems almost unnatural.  Our sense of fairness tells us people should pay for the wrong they do.  But forgiving is love's power to break nature's rule."  

Lewis B. Smedes  -  From QuoteGarden.Com

Dwelling on the positive rather than the negative is a learned trait that I try to work on each and every day.  Rather than stewing on things that go wrong, I am learning to find the positive, learn from mistakes and move forward.  As part of this effort I am also learning to let things go and to forgive myself and others.  With that in mind, I intend to 'Forgive', as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge:  365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.  Why not join me?  The objective is very simple:  Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'.  Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.  Instead, make every day New Year's Day.  Make every day count with 'daily resolves'.  The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.  If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.  Resolve365 in 2009.

Remember:  I Resolve To . . . Achieve My New Year Resolutions, One Resolution, One Day At A Time For One Year.  It's your choice.  Do it today.

  • My #1 charitable cause since 2015 has been The Fluffball Foundation created by Actress/Activist Emmanuelle Vaugier. Through fundraising, the Fluffball works to support various organizations focused on animal rescue and well being efforts across the United States. I am gratified that the nearly $17,000 that I donated and raised since 2015 has funded efforts The Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation and Forgotten Horses Rescue, Inc., Los Angeles-based animal welfare charities. There is so much more to do and so many more animals to help. My goal is to donate and raise a total of $50,000 by New Year's Day 2028.

  • Elaine Abras - December 7, 2013
    All work and no play is an unhealthy way to live. It ultimately leads to health issues and burn out. Being mindfully proactive about rest, relaxation and fun is a prescription for health and happiness. One of my top resolutions. Here are some photos that make my case!
