Yes. I am posting 2 letters at once. For one, I'm traveling and two, I don't blog on Sundays.
And yes, my post will be short because I am terribly pathetically slow when I type on my phone:)
F is for forgiveness.
Sometimes it's not easy to forgive. And it's always evident when you can't because people tend to grow bitter and hateful. My thoughts: do I want to go through life with a bitter attitude and hateful words? Nope. So I choose to forgive when it is possible. Even when it seems like I can't I try my best not yo hold a grudge.
G is for good.
Simply put, just do good. It makes the world a better place. It makes our kids happier. It mashed our heart lighter. It spreads sunshine and cheer. You never know how many people are blessed by your goodness:)
Until Monday, beautiful guys and dolls:)
UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri...
Life is miserable when we are bitter.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels!
Thanks Zakex:)
DeleteHating and resentment is like drinking the poison and expecting the other to drop dead instead. Forgiveness is a favor we are doing to ourselves. Your post is short but it is too good. :D
ReplyDeleteYou're so right!
DeleteForgiveness is nice for the one who receives it, but it's healing for the one who gives it:)
I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around - so forgiveness and doing good fits in perfectly.
ReplyDeleteNice post. Good to meet you.
Nice to meet you too!!

Both very good word choices. Just so you know you know, in this fest you don't have to post on Sunday, G is Monday's letter- so good news: You get to have Monday off!
ReplyDeleteOh really? I didn't know Sundays were off day! Yay!!
DeleteNo one can argue your logic here. It's easier to walk away from people who want to fight and hold grudges than engage them in protracted battles.
ReplyDeleteYep. That's right!
DeletePosting by phone deserves a special award! I never can get a message out that's more than two words long and even those are misspelled. Thick thumb deficiency.
ReplyDeleteSundays are off days, Ink! I realized I haven't been around in awhile...lots going on. It's always nice to come here and get perked up by your blog.
ReplyDeleteHello! You've done a Fabulous job posting about two Great actions! :) If only it was as easy to forgive and be good for everyone as it is to say it.
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
Forgiving isn't always easy but so much better for your stomach if you do!!
ReplyDeleteI like the theme you have going here. I can't wait to see the rest of the alphabet!

Forgiveness can be very tough, but definitely personally freeing when it is given.

ReplyDeleteHello from A to Z...I'd like to follow your blog, but there's something going on with my google right now that's not allowing me to do so...
ReplyDeleteI think being able to forgive someone can be very liberating. But I think it's also important for us to convey to those we have we have forgiven that they must not to confuse forgiveness with permission to repeat their previous actions.
