I'm embracing this saying...

"Forgiveness – giving up the hope that your past could have been any different."

I think this saying says it all. I don't remember where I found it, but it seemed to be perfect for me with my family issues. It's not like you can change the past, but for some reason, I've been dreaming that it could have been different. Crazy, I know, but there you go.

I like that definition. It sums up how I've come to feel about forgiveness. It has always had more to do with me letting go of the situation than excusing people for poor behavior.
