It's Deepak Chopra's "The Soul of Healing Meditations" and it's fantastic.MargauxMeadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825471511010339716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345462981115809499.post-1155498277780888112009-08-18T11:08:15.481-07:002009-08-18T11:08:15.481-07:00Margaux - Your comment reminds me that I can focus...Margaux - Your comment reminds me that I can focus on forgiving as a way out of this current funk. I'm going to do some reading / meditating / praying on forgiveness. I really believe, as you said, that the benefit of forgiveness is my OWN sanity.

It's a process and not one we can totally control.MargauxMeadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825471511010339716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345462981115809499.post-53965909497552851622009-08-13T10:44:14.614-07:002009-08-13T10:44:14.614-07:00Thanks for sharing this article, Woman A.

It was interesting to me because my husband acted very much like the man in the article--acting as though I should just forget about all his acting out and really doing nothing to prove himself trustworthy. I came to the conclusion that I couldn't continue a relationship with someone who wouldn't or couldn't take responsibility for himself. However, I also realized that I needed to take responsibility for myself and that meant working on forgiveness (for the benefit of my OWN sanity). If we sit around and wait for someone else to make amends to us, we'll spend years--possibly a lifetime--poisoning ourselves with anger and only hurting ourselves.MargauxMeadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825471511010339716noreply@blogger.com
