in the words of my Grandmother "nothing's deader than yesterday's mistakes" i'd like that to be true i know it would be better if everyone believed this phrase if we wouldn't be so quick to judge if we tolerated one another if we did our best each day if we could let go and forgive if we could let the past lie dormant but we admonish ourselves we berate each other we nitpick small errors we blow them out of proportion we never let them die i remember a woman who always saw the good she focused on the positive she found beauty in everyone and everyone loved Grandmother for it but often we tear others down when we could help them out easier to rub your face in the mistake easier to make oneself look better difficult to accept the blame in memory of Grandmother i accept my flaws i admit when i've done wrong i attempt to make it right and i want others to do the same Author's note: capitalization as printed is intentional.
