grovel

I am my own worst critic

when someone needs my forgiveness, it is much more easily given to others than to myself

forgiveness in others.......how are we to do this over and over again.........


like when your voice is off key while singing in the choir....or you took the liberty to add something in when not specified by the other.......it's humility........and it's hard to choke down.........like a sprig of basil instead of it chiffonade

when I 'mess up' doing whatever it might be, I always feel so terrible - I stop playing music, sit in silence and try to figure out how I can make things right.....whether it's a small little something or a big mistake

how does one get out of this?  grovel

not bowing down in front of the person with your face in submission, but to yourself...knowing that yup, you did something wrong, accept it....learn from it....move on

peace + blessings,

  2. It is hard... No way around it. "I'm sorry" 2 little words. Admitting I have wronged someone is harder than saying the words at times... I appreciate all of your humble and true posts. Very encouraging to me. You are showing you are "the real deal", just like the rest of us. No pretenses here... We momma's of large families need more blogs like this... Like you said before, lots of fluff out there in blog land, in life. You have the beauty of fluff but the raw nature of what life should really be about, honesty and humility... Thank you
