I sometimes have petty thoughts; I forgive myself. I get annoyed that others seem to have more than I; I forgive myself. I have thoughts that I am truly not proud of; I forgive myself. I find it hard to forgive others for their missteps; I forgive myself. I was short with my family and friends; I forgive myself. For these things, and every other shortcoming, I will continue to forgive myself first. And with the grace of forgiveness, I will go out into the world and strive to be and do better.
