"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." ~ Oscar Wilde

Every week my life coach gives me homework. Last week I was set the task of writing a "forgiveness letter" to someone who may have hurt me. I didn't do it.
This week's homework was a "signature strengths" survey.

Survey Results:

Top strengths: creativity, appreciation of beauty, humour and playfulness.
Bottom strengths (we don't call them weaknesses): faith, forgiveness and mercy.

So, there we have it, no big surprises there. I'm not big on forgiveness, but I'll take a leaf out of Oscar's bush and give it a try.

When I'm ready.

Forgive one's enemies, eh? Hm. Difficult. Friends, yes, and people I like. But enemies?

It's a new tack. Thank you, T over T for that reminder.
You are so diplomatic and considerate. I could tear a leaf out of your book with a combine harvester ...

I'm all talk, haven't written the wretched thing yet.
