THE ART OF FORGIVENESS Forgiveness means accepting what happened as it happened. being done with pride, ego, and self-pity. Forgiveness means knowing the past offers no repast. Stepping into your present. Forgiveness means loving from a distance. letting people be who they choose to be. Forgiveness means mastering the art of being soft and humble. discovering a serenity never known before.

'Soft and humble' works for me. As does 'letting go.' Smiles, Gershon
