Forgiving Myself x 10 Again
Written by Angelat: angela, Nugget 3 Comments
1. I forgive myself for not being able to lose those final ten pounds.
2. I forgive myself for not reading as much as I used to.
3. I forgive myself for dreaming of a world in which parents allow their kids to be kids.
4. I forgive myself for spending too much money on sock yarn.
5. I forgive myself for not making my kids eat what I eat.
6. I forgive myself for often feeling overwhelmingly unsuccessful.
7. I forgive myself for not being as outgoing as I want my kids to be.
8. I forgive myself for never learning to swim.
9. I forgive myself for being all “I want a sewing machine. I NEED a sewing machine! I’m going to be CRAFTY!” and then letting my new sewing machine remain in the unopened box for nearly two months.
10. I forgive myself for hardly ever practicing what I preach.

My advice: Allow yourself to feel successful! You are so good at so many things, including making me fall on the floor laughing.
Whenever I see in my bloglines that you have updated, I yell “Fluid Pudding!” Isn’t that a little success?

I’m 35-years-old, and I still cannot swim.
