It has been 4 years since Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt broke up. 4 years. That's a long time (especially considering they were only together 7 years). Yet when you think of Jennifer Aniston, what comes to mind? That's right. The break up. And that is her doing. Although she has done other things (including posing almost nude in GQ), the break up remains her favorite interview topic (calling Angelina Jolie 'uncool'). She can't let it go.
We all know people like that. I know a thirty year old (plus) who still complains about not getting a cabbage patch doll when she was a kid. She brings it up at every family function. I love her dearly but when she goes on one of her rants, I politely leave the room. It is too painful and sad to watch, knowing that she always has a part of her brain dwelling on this 'injustice'.
It is a waste of precious brain space.
Now, I'm not saying she should forgive. Although healing, that is a personal decision and maybe, just maybe, the act was unforgivable (Jennifer Aniston clearly thinks the break up was).
What I suggest is forgetting, cramming as much 'doing' between you and the act that there is no time or energy for complaining. Ensuring that when people ask what you've been up to, you have so many interesting stories you don't have talk time for something that happened even a year ago.
This holiday season, give yourself the gift of forgetfulness. Leave that negativity behind you in 2008 when the calendar flips over. 2009 is going to be a GREAT year!
