Futsal hurts. Even being a keeper without all the running - I still hurt after Futsal. Really, I'm not so old as to consider quiting the game. It could be PMS, my body ACHES !! I'm dreading my personal training session tomorrow.
In other news, I picked up a brochure for the piano school down the street. I've been wanting to learn to play for awhile now. I bought a really neat keyboard three weeks ago. It's plays songs, and it's got lights and speaks to tell you which fingers to use. It's neat. But, I don't even know anything about music. I know there's letters involved but that's about it. So, maybe some piano lessons are in order ... I'll have to fit it into my schedule somewheres....
Hmm....
Yes, I've also been pondering what it means to forgive someone and accept them. I recently struggled with feelings of doubt and anger towards a good friend. Doubt in myself, and anger with her - how could she ? how inconsiderate ? kind of anger. And, it stayed - I've discovered that just 'cause I tell myself and say out loud that I forgive someone does not mean that all the nasty thoughts I have towards them go away. Forgiving someone is hard. The decisions is hard, true. But, also - what does it look like to forgive practically ?
Anyways, in the case of my friend - I decided that I was going to love her anyways. I mean, other than that occasion we always got along great and had great fun.
Now, I'm faced with a co-worker who has ticked me off, is condescending, and has kicked me when I was down. How do I carry over the lesson I learned with my friend ? How do I forgive ? How do I actively ignore the condescension. I certainly can't love them, we aren't even friends. Or maybe I'm supposed to find a way ? Stay tuned ... I've got to figure this one out.
That's about it for today. Bed time !!! Wooohooo !! Hope I'm not hurting tomorrow and can actually enjoy the workout :|

forgiveness is very very hard. one thing i've learned, is you can't take it too personally. people always hurt others, i hurt others (unintentionally of course) and so we need to accept that they aren't perfect, and get over it. if it's an issue of trust, then obviously you can't trust them completely immediately, but if it is a trust issue than you have to bring it up with them. however, that being said, i'm crap at confrontation, and normally never tell the person how they've pissed me off. i just 'get over it'. as for work...sigh. work mates suck.
ask God to help you forgive and change your feelings. everytime you think negative thoughts, bless them instead. easier said than done i know, but it's the right thing to do. and who says the right things is always the easiest?
