Simply Sunday Challenge: Think Positive!

Hola Hola!  Its another Simply Sunday Challenge!  This week over at Getting Cricky the challenge is to create a project with the Think Positive theme.  You can interpret that any way you like!  
And of course the stamp set that would be great is Kristal’s Positive Thoughts Art Stamp set! The sentiment I used was the Forgiveness one.  
Ahh to forgive.. gosh it takes a very big heart to forgive someone that has done you wrong.  I know one person that I have Forgiven for all that he has done.  I forgave but I still won’t forget.  Gosh I’m crying.. the weird thing is that while I’m typing this post the song from the Dixie Chicks that is playing is “Not ready to make nice” in which she talks about forgiveness.  Gosh.. once I forgave him.. wow my life just opened up!  I’m so happy now. Yes, I miss him. I miss the fact that he is not part of  my family. Like the lyrics say..” they say time will heal everything but I’m still waiting!”  Yup I’m still waiting.  Yup My daddy! I love him so.. I forgive you Dad and Love you so much! Loved the Good Times we had… and those not soo good days well its just made us stronger. He  instilled in us the value of an education and he always made sure we had everything we needed. We never went hungry and we also had clothes on our backs.
SO y’all are probably wondering how does this translate into think positive??  Well, If I hadn’t forgiven him, I still will living with a heavy heart and hate.  I would always be thinking of all the bad times we had. I refuse to live like that. I would rather live my life loving the good times we had with him!  He’s still around and I know He had so much hate in his heart. I know its not his fault. The war messed him up. We loved him with all our heart but It just wasn’t enough.  But we still loved him with all his faults.  So that is positive! The freedom and the love in my life is all positive!   Ok.. enough crying!!!    On to my CARD!!! 

It’s a simple card.  I used basic gray chipboard pieces and some statin ribbon. The background paper is from Making Memory.  These are my fave colors!! Oranges, browns and greens!! Love it!!
