Let go

The greatest gift is the present.

I'm just laying in bed with my computer on the desk. The text looks sideways to me. I had another weird day. I don't want to get into details, but I've hit another crossroads, and this one has hit me in a whole bunch of ways. I've had to let something go today (mentally) that I didn't know I was hanging on to. I suppose I knew it deep down, but just not at the surface— I didn't know how tightly I was holding on to it. At first I was really sad and depressed about it, but then as time has passed today I've come to feel a kind of weight lifting. It's amazing how heavy something can feel, even something that you love. Sometimes it's okay just to let it go. I'm being vague, I know, but I think you can understand what I'm saying. The future is okay, I think. I'm almost looking forward to it. Nomatter how bad things seem to be, time has a way of washing the beach clean. But there's always a little sand left in your crack.

Ha! I thought you were going to be totally serious for a minute there, but your last sentence has me chuckling. :)

Hope you are feeling better (mentally) soon.....I know how stuff can really drag you down....past or present.

Yep, and that feeling will re-appear over and over again. And one day, you will realise that someone has your nanner.

sometimes progress hurts, take a walk thru the brambles to get to the beach
