Week 3, PRABE #2

I began my week with some casual online reading in search of a quote to post on Facebook in remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Of course, I was sidetracked and spent more time reading about him than what I should have.

I ended up using this quote: "Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a constant attitude."

Think on that for a minute. I love it.

Later in the week, I finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie. Ladies and gentlemen, I have officially found a new (second) favorite author in Mitch Albom. Every book of his that I pick up, I cannot put down. The reading is so simple, and the content is applicable to every day living.

My favorite part of reading this week went right along with the topic of the quote by Dr. MLK, Jr. Forgiveness.

Albom writes, "Tears are okay. It's not just other people we need to forgive; we need to forgive oursevles. For all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened." (166)

For some reason, I have always struggled with forgiving myself, and I have many regrets in life. This book really spoke to me about letting go and moving forward.

Now, I'm diving into another book by Mitch, "For One More Day."

I. can't. wait.

Forgive yourself,
Sarah
