It was forgiveness with which I was blessed. I didn't think I was capable of it, but it is a VERY wonderful feeling...and I feel as though my spirit is now released from some type of bondage.
I was very angry with one of my neighbors, who has been very unkind. But once I found out she was hungry, I felt the anger melt away. I was able to get some people from my church to help me transport food, and we have now delivered food to at least six neighbors.

@4meAndyou wow good answer! I think we all take forgiveness for granted and even I struggle with this. It really does put things into perspective when you really understand the struggles of another and why they act the way they do. Glad you were able to forgive and help. I’m sure your neighbor is eternally grateful for what you’ve done.

@DecafD 🤭 I think that would be asking a bit much, because I am quite sure she will knife me in the back again, but this time, I understand that she probably has dementia, and drives everyone nuts. It's not just me. 🙄 But it was a revelation that I could drop my own negative feelings that quickly.
@4meAndyou yeah people with dementia are moody, trying to piece together the fragments of their memories and getting constantly frustrated that they can’t recall or piece together things as they did before. Well…at least you’ve turned your cheek as they say. It’s always a good thing when you allow yourself to no longer let other people control how you feel. It’s a lot of energy to spend being upset with someone, while they’re sleeping like a baby not thinking of you at all.
