My words for 2016
So over here, I submitted the following blurb about my words for 2016. I did this last year, but I don't know if I really did anything with my word. This year, I'm working on making some changes in my life [more on that in a separate post], and my words are a reflection of that. Below is what I wrote about my words on that site.
I actually have two words this year, but they tend to go hand in hand, so I'm okay with that. My words are forgiveness and acceptance. There are a number of things that need forgiveness in my life, both my own and those of others. It's finally time to start doing that, making amends where I need to and making clean breaks where I cannot. With that forgiveness comes acceptance. Again, this is both for myself and for others. Acceptance that things are what they are, and nothing will change some of them, particularly those in the past.. I will never forget things that have happened, to and by me, but I no longer want all of them to plague me constantly. They have brought me to where I am today, but I still have transitioning and growing to do. I can't do that if I'm bogged down by negativity.
