Sharing my truth about grudges and other things

QUESTIONS;

What are three scents you like?

I like to wear perfume and my preference is floral scents. I also love the vanilla and pine scent.

What is something true (factual) that most other people don’t believe?

I’d say the presence of God, almighty is an indisputable fact that some people question. But I don’t want to force my beliefs on others, so another fact that people may find hard to believe is that potato chips cause more weight gain than any other food!( Really!)

Would you rather have a massage or get facial?

I love getting facials and have never had a massage. So I’ll love a facial if it’s anti-aging and free.

Have you ever thrown someone a really extravagant party?

Many birthday parties when my kids were small. One especially I remember when my eldest daughter turned 3. We invited around 50 guests and made all the food at home. I’m glad we don’t have to do that anymore.

GRATITUDE SECTION

Feel free to share some gratitude. It can be a photo, image, quote or just some wisdom.

Saw this on a blog a few days ago!

In addition to SYW, I’m also answering This question from Melanie, for truthful Tuesday

“What’s Your Opinion Of Grudge Holding?”

We, humans, love to hold grudges. It’s very tempting to lay the blame on someone else and remember it.

I used to do this when I was younger. But as I grew older, few things helped me change my way of thinking.

1. Holding a grudge makes a person vindictive and small-minded. We wait for bad things to befall the one we have a grudge against.

2. It is a negative emotion and takes a toll on our soul. Forgiveness on the other hand releases this negativity and elevates us spiritually .

3. Forgiving others makes us free of carrying the burden of a sense of wrongdoing.

This is my opinion about holding grudges.

My thanks to Melanie for these interesting questions.

  9. Thanks Sadje for Sharing Your Truthful World! What great responses! I really appreciated your wisdom on the grudge holding thing and shall ponder those when I start to worry overmuch about things I can’t change. Thank you! ❤ Your three scents are beautiful. So uplifting (IMO). I think your daughter must have been a very loved little girl and that doing that special party for her was creating a memory to last for your whole family. What a sweet thing to do! I loved the meme. True words indeed! Have a wonderful week! 🥰
