Letting Go

Another birthday...a little introspection...just to see what this last year has given me. I've had dreams, and hopes, and wishes galore. Sidetracked, were all the things I had hoped to accomplish a year ago. Not sad, as in, all is lost, but rather, dreams will fulfill in their perfect and correct time.  I have time.  I will be ready for the changes, when they unfold.  Until then, I'm letting go...

Letting go...future is on the back-burner.  I live for now, and get through this sticky daily stuff with courage and joy for the day itself.  It's good to have dreams and goals, but one must be in the moment. Sometimes, the day is for me, though mostly for others.  Still, joy comes in helping others, and giving of myself.

It's been my experience, that when I stop putting so much emphasis on the desires of my heart, and let go, that's when they come....when I least expect it.  And that's a truth, that can't be denied!

Ready for another year....I am happy and I am content to live for the day. Someday, will come soon enough!

A New Woman

For the first time, in as long as I can remember, I woke up feeling inspired, refreshed, relieved---like a new woman!  I have worked Saturdays for years.  Often, I would have to decline invitations to events that were happening on a Saturday.  All good things seem to happen on that day...

But, now, I can go anywhere, everywhere--do as I please!  I no longer will be working on Saturdays!!

So, off I go, to take in a basketball game, then shopping, then....who knows?  I have bookstores to visit.  I have music to find.  I need new clothes.  There is much to see: museums, art galleries, and Saturday afternoon open mic poetry readings.  There's the City Market, which, I love so much--the strolling, talking with people/vendors, buying the tastiest foods...yum.  There are Bands to hear...dances to dance.  Restaurants, clubs, and dives, and thrift stores to visit.  These, and all the Saturday places are waiting!!
 
I am even looking forward to cleaning closets and drawers...time to simplify, and trim the excess.  Do I really need so much stuff to keep track of?  No-o-o-o.

How happy I feel!  How I love this new gift...Saturday!
