Comments on: Week #15: Turquoise Card – Forgive Yourself http://www.selflovegame2009.com/blog/2009/05/week-15/ When you put yourself first, everything else becomes easier... Tue, 19 May 2009 19:46:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Nancy http://www.selflovegame2009.com/blog/2009/05/week-15/comment-page-1/#comment-1864 Nancy Tue, 19 May 2009 19:46:10 +0000 http://www.selflovegame2009.com/blog/?p=116#comment-1864 What an interesting juxtaposition of assignments. Last week, we looked at where we blame others and took back the responsibility for our own lives. This week, we consider where we blame ourselves and work on forgiveness. I've been silent on this blog for a while. A few weeks of depression and listlessness, followed by a trip out of town last week. Though I noticed that I'm not the only absent voice. Yet I find that posting here helps keep me aware of my process. I look at things more closely and carefully when I'm writing them down to share with others (partly because, let's be honest here, I don't want to sound like a total fool to you all), versus jotting journal entries for myself alone (where stream-of-consciousness seems to produce the most fruitful results). So I'm off to start my list of "all the behaviors and incidents for which [I] want to be forgiven." Good grief! When you've lived as long as I have, that's going to be quite a list.
