My boss is currently out of the country and my paperwork is done. So, I am free to do whatever I please. Thirty minutes ago, a friend sent me an IM with a link attached to it. She told me that when she clicked on it, the picture page did not load. So, she asked me to click on it if I would be able to view the pictures. I did.
I landed on the blog page of a young local celebrity. The pictures that my friend was referring to was those of the young celebrity with her dad in California. It wouldn't have caught my interest if not for the fact that their meeting was the first after a very long time. Her dad was involved in a very big local showbiz scam, I think 12 years ago, which was the reason why he left for the US. From then, he never entertained any interview invitation. No news about him whatsoever.
Anyway, I read thru her blog to find out that she made a random call to her dad to setup that meeting, after 3 years of not communicating with him. She used to send greeting cards and letters to him, but never got a response. But after that meeting, she learned that her dad sent letters (for her) to his home address, got the dates stamped on them, and kept them. He believed that one day, she will be able to read them.
After reading her blog entry, I read thru the comments and was surprised to see Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon, Les Miserable) dropped a comment. I then clicked the link to Lea's homepage and was delighted to know that it's available for public viewing. I browsed thru her blog and found a very interesting entry. In that particular entry, she admitted that she had harbored a 10-year-old grudge for her father. And had long-standing disagreements with some other people. But that was in the past. Because she said that she's tired of hating.
I don't know why, though I'm not searching, I was directed to their blog entries of hating and eventually, healing. Is this a sign? Maybe. But it is a relief to discover that I am not alone. Maybe I am not that evil afterall. One thing I have learned -- healing has its own time. I don't have to rush things because they will fall into the right places in the right time.

Now you have a sign also... What more do you want?? Me to read your tarot cards?? :) If you can forgive and not forget then the forgiving is useless do it make it a 28th b'day gift to yourself... You still have a couple of days to think... Take care... Adious S -

Hate is an emotional burden. Though we're human and it's a normal feeling, i don't want to live with or dwell on it too much. It's good that we have people around to let other things be realized. ;0)

Thank you for your story...it's an inspiration for those that have carried emotional baggage (not to mention hatred) and shows that a good cleansing of the soul is a healthy thing. Emotions, negativeemotions, are useless bagage that wheigh down our lives.
We all have our issues that we carry and sometimes it's easier to ignore than deal with it (the way we want) but it doesn't go away if you don't deal with it, it just hides in our inner psyche and festers.
Getting rid of it is a good idea.
Oh and by the way...
...Happy Belated Birthday....(and many moooore!)
