“The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.”
~Steve Maraboli~
Something really meaningful there, Spidey, thank you.
It’s not as easy as it seems to let things go.
We can see people out there holding onto something that is slowly turning their life upside down, and we can advise them to let it go.
Because we know that is usually the best way to carry on with life.
But when that same wisdom is turned onto ourselves, sometimes we forget to take our own advice.
I’m generally pretty good at letting things go, but I am human, too, and sometimes I find that. I am holding onto stuff I cannot change unless others are willing, so that is something I have realised more and more recently.
I have to let it go.
I can deal with it when the time is right, but not worry myself sick over something I cannot alter.
The time will come.
Until then, I can unburden myself.
Get a little respite.
So, Peeps, are you able to let things go? 😊
But I Smile Anyway...

Since my father and husband’s respective illnesses I am having to let a great deal of annoyances go. It’s that or break up the family.

I easily let go of most things. Sometimes, too soon.

At least you aren’t just hanging for no reason, Dan. That’s almost more dangerous 🤗

As I get older, I finally grasp the concept that so much is out of my control. It’s not my fault and blaming myself gets me nowhere. I know what you mean, Sis. 💜

i CAN MOVE ON IN LEFE BUT AM HAUNTED BY MEMORIES OF SOME THINGS THAT HURT ME THAT i DON’T WANT REPEATED. MEMORIES ARE ALSO FOR SELF PROTECTUON SOMETIMES. PROBABLY THE BEST ADVICE FOR ANYONE IS ‘ DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL THINGS, THERE WILL BE BIUG TTTHINGS TO WORRY ABOUT WHEN THEY HAPPEN.’
HUGE HUGS RITU. XXXXX

I don’t think we ever truly forget things David. I guess it’s more about processing that the past is done, an there is usually not much we can do to change it, apart from to live better as we go forward…
When we stop those memories from holding us ransom, there’s a freedom that is granted.
Hugs, David 🤗

It hard Sis but we’d all be bitter and twisted if we didn’t let it go!!
Yesterday has gone, tomorrow is not here but today is here which is why it is call the present . Accept it , it is a gift. 💜💜💜💜💜
