Let it go!

Ok here we go! I am about to get all emotional here so please bare with me. I have been sitting here in deep thought this morning! I have heard the expression Let It Go for along time. Well I never could that. I am consumed by my own fear, pain, agony, torture, torment. So on so forth, etc. etc. etc! So I have come to the conclusion this morning that I'm going to do just that. "LET IT GO!" Ok big deal the ex husband divorced,the bf replaced me, and my friend turned his back on me. I just realized this morning that it's ok! I realized that I'm going to be ok. God there are so many fish in the sea. One's that kind, caring, honest, faithful, and loyal. I guess what I'm trying to say is that all hope is not lost. My friend told me not to let ppl rent space in my head, well I'm not going to do that anymore. I've been letting it destroy me and I'm not going to continue doing that to myself any longer. I'm going to start being thankful for what I do have and move forward. This is a big step for me. I want to let go of the past so that I can live for the present and the future. Not only that but to be a better mother and to be a better friend and to be a better person all the way around. There's no reason in the world for me to let this destroy anymore of me than it already has. I pray that everyone has a great day. God bless and keep you!

Miss Anne.

" Good for you! That's the attitude to take. Ya know, all the time we're sitting home moping about this person or that ~ and those people don't even know it. So what good does it do us but make us miserable? We might just as well give our cares to our Higher Power and say "Here, YOU take it cause I can't handle it anymore."

I'm proud of you! Just live for TODAY cause that's all we're promised anyway. Tomorrow isn't here yet, and yesterday is gone. Have a great day yourself! God bless. Lee "

" That's so true Lee.
They say HATE for someone will only hurt US and not the person we HATE.
Although I don't HATE the people that have left me, I do carry a lot of resentment for them and that's JUST as unhealthy. "

" You are a strong enough woman to do this, so go for it. It's ok to let go of the past you can't change it anyway so why worry about what's already gone. It can't be changed, You are taking a giant step into an exciting brand new day, and I know that you will do alright. "

" Miss Anne! What a powerful message! you are definitely a strong women. I don't even have to encourage you as you have dont that on your own.

When I am feeling down and depressed abut my life. I always try to remember that no matter how bad I think I have it. Someone else somewhere is worse off than me. And no matter what it is, it isn't bad enough to give up.

You sound like you are already there! WAHOOOO
