Today is the twenty-first day of this initiative and my fifth as @gavvet's guest host. To be honest, the first four days of my stint have been rather easy. The themes could all be carried out in quick, simple and fun ways. Today's actions may take a little bit more effort... but aren't the things that take the most effort the most worthwhile?

Today's theme is all about one of the most powerful forces in the world... forgiveness.

I am currently rather angry with someone in my life. I have been angry for a few weeks. It has become very easy to be angry. It actually takes no work at all. If I could release this anger, I know my family and I would be better off. I know what I need to do. I must realize that the past cannot be changed. I can either dwell in the past and let it have the power to bring me misery, or I can rise above the anger and let it go. I am going to try. I wish I could say that I know I will succeed, but for today, the best I can do is try. If I fail today... I will try again tomorrow.

Perhaps this video can help to inspire you to begin to forgive someone who has wronged you...

This is the twentieth way of serving in 25 ways over 25 days leading up to Christmas.

Would you like to forgive someone or thank someone who has forgiven you?

Its easy:
1. Watch the short clip
2. Follow the instructions
3. Make it happen
4. Then tweet or otherwise share your results using... #lighttheworld... encourage others to participate
5. 25 days is enough consistency to form a new habit

If every day this December we are slightly more mindful of others we may find ourselves with a new great habit to continue into the new year and beyond.
