for a few years, i've been searching for something -- a concrete step-by-step procedure of an abstract concept. i've read books and talked to lots of people about it, but the concept was still too abstract for me to grasp. today i finally found what i was looking for!

i now have a procedure of how to forgive -- complete with numbered steps and lots of substeps. these steps are obviously cyclical and are a never-ending process (both to my dismay), but i finally feel like i have a grasp on how to proceed. what a wonderful feeling!!
