Today's Thought ...
We don't want to live in the past, but we do need to learn to live comfortably with it.
It takes energy to try to hold shut the door to the past. Coming to terms with mistakes we have made, making amends, forgiving ourselves, and forgiving others releases this energy so we can use it for living more fully now, in the present. Allowing the door to the past to swing open in its own time gives us access to the good memories that we were also repressing.
Is there something I need to do today so that I can live more comfortably with the past?
