Easier Said
~ By Sue ~

When you go through life with expectations
There are many times you will be let down
Promises will be made to you, then be broken
Broken hearts will eventually start to mend

Believe only what you see, not what you are told
Seeing is the actual truth, not the words you hear
To forgive someone for the wrong they do
Is mostly you, than it is for the other person

So if someone does you wrong or causes you harm
Remember that to forgive them for what they did
Makes each and everyday for you go a whole lot better
Sometimes this is easier said, than to do. This I know!

Sue you are getting wiser each day. This is very insightful and it must have felt good to be able to write this.

Hugs my friend, Marti

Sue - forgiveness is the key that's for sure. Enjoyed. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, I couldn't agree with you more, sweet friend, I believe to forgive is a virtue and though so many have scarred me through the years I find forgiving them now as they grow and mature will only help make peace and comfort for all! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are one smart chick, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Boy, you picked the right title, Sue! Our responses to other people's actions are the only weapons they have against us...if we are happy within ourselves and are not upset by those who try to hurt us, we are the winners..

You may not realize this yet, but you really are growing stronger and wiser.

Yes, many things are easier said than done, but what is worth having is worth working for--and you are doing just that!

Keep the faith Sue! Don't give in or up! You are going to make a new life for yourself and one day all this pain and uncertainty will be behind you! (It did for me!)

~ sending a warm hug to you, sweet Sue ~

Linda
