Letting Go....

Learning to let go can mean letting go of many things... material things, people, memories, etc....... it's amazing how many compartments we keep in our head of every thing in our life.  Maybe we need to let go of something material that meant so much, that once we let go we realize that we never needed it in the first place.  Maybe it is a person we cared for and after time we realize that they were there for a reason, but not to always be in our lives.  Maybe it is letting go of the simple things like your child not picking up the shoes or cleaning something up.  Before I spoke of happiness and letting go  and it is of these things that are kept in those compartments in my head helped me acheive my happiness.  Every day I am learning to let go of something or someone and each day I live in the moment and life gets better.  Keep yourself open to new opportunities and you will never know what may happen......

My 14 year old son surprises me!

On this journey in our lives there are some things in this life that are better found out as a surprise...mine was in the form of an essay I found last week that my son wrote in November for English.  The essay was on 3 hero's and here is a brief passage about one of his hero's "My Mom is a great hero to me because she has helped me so much through life and she is strong-willed, kind and tactful.  She has always been there for me and that makes her the best hero."  Sometimes we have no idea the impact we have on our children and then sometimes we get the honor of a surprise...

HAPPINESS.......

I found alot of happiness in my life lately.  Athough I may get stressed with work, my son, and various other things I have found happiness within my life.  Through strengthening my relationships with friends, my son, faith that through failure, I find succes, and confidence in myself, something has changed. Maybe it's getting older and wiser or almost dying and finally realizing how lucky I am to be alive to get to this place.  No matter what the reason I love who I have become and letting go of my past and living in the moment has been the greatest part of my happiness. I do not know what the future may hold, but I know that waking up everyday knowing I have another day to enjoy all the good things in my life feels amazing........
