30 Days of Thankfulness #21

Today I am thankful for forgiveness.  (Sorry I am delayed in posting this weekend!!)
Our family is kind of known for apologizing too much.  I am guilty, too, for apologizing for things that are out of my control and that can't be changed.  My mom has often told me that you can't change the past and that you learn something from every experience - good or bad, scary or exciting, sad or joyful.  So instead of apologizing for things I can't control, I am going to try to find the lesson in each experience.  As Oprah Winfrey once said, "Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different."
