From the beginning of time there has been a need for "forgiveness" in the world... a need to forgive our fellow man, our friends, our family and sometimes even ourselves. With that in mind, I have attached some thought provoking quotes that I've recently come across - I hope they cause a moment of reflection for you.

“Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend.” ~ Jewel
“Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.” ~ William Arthur Ward
“Most of us can forgive and forget; we just don't want the other person to forget that we forgave.” ~ Ivern Ball
“To be social is to be forgiving.” ~ Robert Frost
“People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than for being right.” ~ Joanne Kathleen Rowling
“Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.” ~ Peter Ustinov

I wish you all well!
