The Forgotten

     I think that title is from a book or a movie or some such thing, but it is also describes my week perfectly. It was a week that I had forgotten so many things including not getting another blog out last week. Course, to be fair to myself I had a busy Sunday and almost as busy today, but not quite. And that is why I didn't write last Sunday, BUT I had planned to on Monday and that got blown out of the water and then I just spaced it the rest of the week. Well, okay, it did float before my eyes later in the week, but just didn't seem to justify writing one with so few days left. SO I apologize to you all who actually read these silly, weird, off and, once in a while, maybe, useful, helpful, or slightly interesting blogs. But as I said it was a "forgotten week" that I wish I COULD forget, but not going to happen. And if it makes you faithful readers feel any better it was not just you I forgot. I forgot a couple of birthdays and was late on those, forgot to hand out some papers at church so got that little project started late as well, forgot to go to the bank and get some money out, and, who knows, I will probably figure out more things I have forgotten!!! Now, this may sound silly and boring and useless. but I needed to get it out for two reasons. One, just because I am a "beat-me-up" type person when I mess up. I AM working on not being quite so rough on me most of the time, but still, if it has any affect AND effect in the lives of others, then I am worse to me!! And the number two reason? Well, I guess I was wondering if any of the rest of you ever have  a "fogotten" hour, day, week, month, year, and so on?!?!?! Well, if you do there are two positives in this blog. (I am really into twos today, aren't I?) Number one: I won't feel so badly because I am not alone! And number two: Hopefully you will not feel badly when you realize that you are not alone either. So together in our "forgotten" moments may we strive to recognize that  we are not alone and that somehow we can keep going! As long as we ask forgiveness of those we have affected OR effected in any way because of our "forgotten" and we do our best to make up for it, then we have done all we can do. So can I quit beating me up now? Well, not really, since I need to ask forgiveness of a very dear friend and hope she can forgive me. Then, maybe, just maybe, I can quit beating me up about it by. . . maybe next week?!?!?!
