Letting Go


If there is one thing that I've learned in my life, it's letting go.  Beginning with a breakup in high school after which I carried around this quote: "If you love something, set it free.  If it comes back to you it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was".  and throughout the rest of my life, I've learned that I'm not in charge of much.  I am blessed to have faith in a God who loves me and the rest of the people in my life.  I trust that good will always come out of the events that take place.

Don't get me wrong, there are many times that I struggle with this.  When I have an picture in my mind, an idea of how I think things should be, I can be troubled when it doesn't turn out the way I expect.  But during the past year, I have found it easier to let it go.  It's easier for me when God is in charge.  Things don't hurt me as much.  I have more patience and a lot more time for myself.

You should try it sometime!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
