The wonderful blogger, and someone I am so happy to call a sister, Erika, wrote a post the other day, all about things that were holding us back in life, and then she found a song that was her symbol of letting go of the situation that held her back.
She invited others to do the same, find something to show as a symbol, and letting go of something we also need to, to make life easier.
Here’s mine.
I really need to let go of one thing in my life, and that is my constant need to please everyone else. Sometimes I run myself ragged, trying to be there for everyone, volunteering to help, or even putting my own little family second, to please someone else.
Well today I am letting go of that feeling. I will always be the person I am, but I am actually going to put me, and my little family first. If someone’s nose gets out of joint, I actually don’t care! I have to do what is best for us, for me, and hey, I’ll fit the others in around us, but no longer will I move us around to make others happy… (unless I want to!)
This is actually going to be really hard for me, as I have always been the one to be there, and I really don’t want to stop totally, but I do feel that I am taken for granted by so many, that maybe this step back will make others realise too….
Thanks Erika, for giving me the inspiration to actually think of letting go… I hope I manage to do it!
But I Smile Anyway...
