| | Weekly Inspiration | | |  | The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant... and let the air out of the tires. - Dorothy Parker | Forgiveness: Setting Ourselves Free Forgiveness is about letting go of pain and anger - not necessarily about condoning or excusing or trusting without reason. Forgiveness restores to us a sense of the essential goodness of life, boosts mood, reduces rage, alleviates depression, lowers stress hormones and preserves close relationships. Forgiving improves health more than being forgiven. By forgiving, we restore our own faith in the essential goodness of life. And yet, the way we choose to do so is always individual. We each craft our own quilt of forgiveness.
