Forgive and forget? I have the forgiveness part down, but forget? Who in the world came up with that part? Forgetting is the hardest of them all. I would love to erase it all from my memory. Have I really forgiven if I can't forget??

the last one is the best---you can forgive but it's a fine line taking it over and over again. That's when you shouldn't forget. Can't forget that :) Forgiving and forgetting is getting on with life.
Forgivness is key to happiness. We should forgive instantly. When it comes to forgetting, we need to remember to use our brain as well. Forgive, and be smart. Don't forgive, then forget.... and then put yourself right back into the same situation.
