Good morning!

To say the least, 2025 has been a year of firsts and of changes for me, but as I write this morning, my divorce is officially over, and life can move forward.

Wow.

What a nasty thing that is. And believe me, you'd better get nasty in a divorce, or you're about to be taken!

So this was on my mind today, as I passed my home that I gave up in the divorce, and noticed a load of things being hauled out of there like repo items headed to some unknown auction, never to be seen again.

I arrived in my hometown, to gather mail and do business, and upon showing up at the bank, received my lesson for the day.

A very old friend, in fact, one of my Father's closest friends, would be buried today. I dropped what I was doing, and headed to the funeral.

You see, not long after my own Father's funeral, this old man and I had a falling out. One that I was content to never forgive.

But today, I'm going to lay that down and forgive, and do the same with the divorce.

Come what may, my life must be lived looking into the windshield, and not the rearview.

Friends, if you are holding a resentment, I urge you to let that go.

It's a lot like drinking poison, and waiting around on someone else to die.

Forgive.

You'll be glad you did.
