The first to apologise is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest and the first to forget is the happiest. A day to forgive and be forgiven. As you all know every year July 7th is celebrated as Global Forgiveness Day. These are great opportunities to remind ourselves of the importance of forgiveness, to value the forgiveness that others have offered us in the past, and to focus on forgiving those we may need to forgive — including ourselves.
