Forgiveness

Last night, I attended the pre-dinner for the

Dream Girls Weekend.

What a hoot! I had been out all day and really didn't have time to prepare a "get-up" for the Hillbilly theme that was going on. It was okay though, as the girls who did dress up, more than made up for me being in my jeans and sweater.

It really was a special evening; a gathering of women who all have a common interest. Art, fun, and a good time. I was introduced to people who I have only known through blogging or Facebook. So I was so excited when I finally got to meet Jeanne Oliver in person. I had heard from many of my friends what an awesome photographer, artist and just a geniunely nice person she is. And guess what, she really is nice. One of her most recent art pieces really made me ponder things about my life in recent months. It was about forgiveness. I remember when my Mom was alive, she would say to me that it was a lot easier to forgive than to carry that burden around on your shoulders. While it sometimes difficult to put those feelings aside, I have decided to let it go.

I choose forgiveness!
