Question: Do you want to add anything else?

God’s answer:

Blame is lame
Don’t wallow in self- pity.

Question: Is that what an embittered person is? Someone who wallows in self-pity?

God’s answer:

“Poor me!”
They feel victimized by life. They are always angry.

Question: So forgiving, not just people but also yourself and circumstances, is the answer?

God’s answer:

Don’t cry over spilt milk.
It is very unhealthy.
Spoiled milk is sour

Meaning: The expression don’t cry over spilt milk means:” It doesn't do any good to be unhappy about something that has already happened or that can't be helped. 11

Question: Can you give me an example of a born saint… someone I can research.

God’s answer:

Saint Rita

 

Daisies: Saint Rita was born Margarita, Italian for daisy.

 
She too was a late bloomer

Meaning: Saint Rita was an Italian woman who married young. Her husband was abusive and was later killed. Both her sons also died. After their deaths, Rita tried to enter the monastery but was declined due to the scandal of her husband's violent death. She was finally accepted at the age of 36. She is famous for her stigmata (wounds on her forehead which resembled the crown of thorns)

God gave me Saint Rita as an example because like her, I did not go on this path until I was almost 40. So, we are both late bloomers.
