They are beautiful… if is in folding, in appreciating the beauty of each one, in the repetitive motion of doing, and in just being that will help still your heart… Read between the lines and grab your hug from the clouds – and me.

Thank you, Marcia. The folding and thinking is therapy in a way. I appreciate the hugs~skt

Someone else above said that “In some situations the only forgiveness you’ll receive is that which you give yourself” – I agree.

If you have been sorry about a situation for 2 years, it is no longer about the situation, it has moved into the realm of power-tripping.

If they cannot forgive, they cannot forgive and you will have to accept that if your contrition has not moved them thus far it is not about their forgiveness any more.

If you have worked through the whats and whys of what you did and you can sleep at night (taking out the factor of their feelings) then that is all you can do.

If you cannot sleep even taking out the factors of their feelings, your energy should be in finding forgiveness for yourself.

If they cannot work through what you have done and find forgiveness in their hearts then perhaps it is time for them to acknowledge that it will never come.

If it will never come, it is best to work towards the life where that will not constantly hurt you.

Good luck.

Thanks, Jeanie. Though intellectually I know that what you say is true, this situation seems to be out “emotion,” and my brain has a hard time controlling them. I appreciate the good wishes~skt

My own heart hurts for your pain.

I’m sorry for it, and I hope you find your way back to each other again somehow.

In the meantime I’ll be holding you close in my heart my friend.

I appreciate the kind words, and the friendship, Robin. It helps~skt

In some situations the only forgiveness you’ll receive is that which you give yourself. Two years?

I agree with Comedy+. You’ve done all you can, it’s time to stop. Perhaps one day the other party will finally get it.

Huge Hugs to you and your tender heart this beautiful Saturday morning!

Late in reply, as always, but thank you for your hugs~skt
