I love this idea by Clarissa Pinkola Estes- it's so refreshingly creative and do-able...
"Forgiveness is an act of creation. You can choose from many ways to do it. You can forgive for now, forgive till then, forgive till the next time, forgive but give no more chances it’s a whole new game if there is another incident. You can give one more chance, give several more chances, give many chances, give chances only if. You can forgive part, all, or half of the offense. You can devise a blanket of forgiveness. You decide"
How does one know if one's forgiven "properly"? Well, you'll feel no anger left at the person or situation, only pity or compassion...
