"We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey." ~Kenji Miyazawa

 

11/04/00-11/04/09=R.I.P. Happy Anniversary???

 

How uncomfortable it is to have a date that should by all rights equal happiness and love..be a day of discomfort and uncertainty. Gone are the flowers...the cards...the sweet sentiments...the forget-me-nots...the gift of love and adoration. Replaced by foulness..anger..bitterness...blame...finger pointing and an incessant need to run fast in any other direction! Today shall be a tough one as I am in the throws of divorce and moving on yet still in my complacency and awaiting the loose ends to be tied up. There is no finalization yet..it is limbo at its best. How does one get uncomplicated in a complicated mess? I do not cry or hope or wish or beg...for it is not the loss of my husband that bothers me but certainly I will mourn the loss of what I thought things would be....

BUT that road ahead sure does look colorful, bright and inviting..I think I shall get on it!

I tend to not let things go. I can say sorry and forgive but I let things bother me that took place years ago sometimes. A new Flickr friend whom I have come to adore and hope to meet someday told me to let go of that and look forward. Live in the present. Forget the things of the past that are not good and move on. Let go. That came to mind when I got the word for Mission 24. I love how these missions not only make me think about life but they also spark my creativity.

 

Anyway, here's to letting go of things you don't want in your head and looking forward to a new day tomorrow.

 

Mission 24: Present

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

Marilyn Monroe

My past is my past, it will never change

My past is my past, I don’t have to explain

Catching your shadow is impossible it will seem really strange

Whilst running from your past will achieve little, only energy drain.

You have your whole life ahead of you…don’t spend all your time in the past. - Gregory Galloway

Over the past few weeks I've changed ever so slightly, and I like who I've become.

Digital art photo manipulation of a whimsical dragonfly on a nebulous pastel background. Letting go of the web of things that have held her back in the past this happy dragonfly enjoys the freedom of flitting among the glittering stars. Various shades of blue make up a border accented with elegant scroll work like the points on a map or compass as she charts her way towards achieving her goals and dreams.

When pain knocks on your door,

welcome it.

Let it in.

Sit with it.

Have tea with it.

Understand it.

Then let it leave. - Najwa Zebian

When we are stressed, all we seek is a way out, losing focus and rationality.

When we stop, BREATHE, and make a moment to let go, we create a mental state of clarity that enables us to take focused action towards our desired outcome.

I spent my whole life building strength and fighting against everything, only to realise that real strength comes from letting go and not reacting in the first place.
