I should be so LUCKY, LUCKY, LUCKY,LUCKY,  this was an 80's song that was irritating but last song syndrome quality to it.  When I first wrote this blog, I was claiming the LUCK part. I was really called JINX (or Jinks) as a short cut to Jinkee and although I was lucky in most ways, I've had my share of woes.  I still felt the Jinx part still had more bearing to me.  Lately though, after having been through something bad, after going through a lot of doubts, I feel like I just hit the jackpot. I feel like getting my groove back was what was meant to happen. And although there are still a lot of things I am hoping for, I know that I will never feel as LUCKY as I do now. I am very very thankful. :)

Forgiveness

We always hear about  forgiveness and redemption, especially durin g Holy Week. But I rarely gave it much thought untilI've had to apply it in my life.  A few months ago someone did a very unthinkable and awful thing, something I thought would never or at least not likely to happen. I thought the past things I went through were already enough, and I have a quota of hardships. But it did happen. And I was forced to re-think everything I thought to be true. From self worth to ideals. But I think the important thing to remember is YOU are the most important thing in your own life. No amount of wishful thinking would make a person change. Also, being a trusting person doesn't mean you would have a trustworthy person in your life. People are who they are, and no amount of being very patient and encouraging will help a person who is comfortable in who he is.  One thing for sure, forgiveness is a form of releasing the negative things that drag you down. Forgiving means being the bigger person. Forgiving means condemning the act, but not the person. Things will never be the same between two people, but you can choose to have closure. Moreso, forgiveness means being able to forgive YOURSELF too.
