Ive been an oft-times reader of this group ... but way too scattered and busy to participate, but I liked this challenge, so here it is. Day 1 of Vickis Writing Challenge 19 - I owe myself... I owe myself forgiveness for the times I’m a neurotic screw-up who means well but screws up nonetheless. Sometimes words tumble from the long ago recesses of pain in my brain out of my mouth or onto my keyboard. I owe myself forgiveness for the diseased cavities of my psyche that have not yet healed. I owe myself forgiveness even if I feel I don’t deserve forgiveness because I have learned how healing it is to forgive and to receive forgiveness. I owe myself kudos for traipsing down dark alleys in my youth skirting the edge of what is legal or moral because the journey has made me a Survivor and has blessed me with empathy. I owe myself to look into a mirror or at a photograph of myself without disdain and not let the disease of poor self-image own me. I owe myself healing from pain of loss because sometimes I recognize how grief and regret keeps me from living fully in the present.
