Just Letting Go on a Wednesday...

This week has been more hectic than usual and that is saying a lot...I got back end of last week from a trip to Atlanta...the onset of a cold imminent (infuriates me how not immune my body is sometimes for all my purported healthy living)...K1 left on Saturday for London and K2 and I had the weekend and more to drive each other crazy...just getting through my day - lunch box, snack bag, work deliverables,  single threaded kid duties and To-Do Lists have been hard and  today was feeling just a wee bit dejected and morose... ready to throw myself a pity party (Hello! Glass of Wine)  I see this post from one of the wonderful moms at school...Thank You R !!! Sharing it so that it helps more folks than just me...

She let go. 

Without a thought or a word,

she let go. She let go of the fear.

She let go of the judgments. She

let go of the confluence of

opinions swarming around her

head. She let go of the committee

of indecision within her. She let

go of all the 'right' reasons.

Wholly and completely, without

hesitation or worry, she just let go.

She didn't ask anyone for advice .

She didn't read a book on how to

let go. She didn't search the

scriptures. She just let go. She let

go of all the memories that held

her back. She let go of all the

anxiety that kept her from moving

forward. She let go of the

planning and all of the

calculations about how to 

do it just right.

She didn't promise to let go. She

didn't journal about it. She didn't

write the projected date in her

Day-Timer. She made no public

announcement and put no ad in

the paper. She didn't check the

weather report or read her daily

horoscope. She just let go.

She didn't analyze whether she

should let go. She didn't call her

friends to discuss the matter. She

didn't do a five-step Spiritual

Mind Treatment. She didn't call

the prayer line. She didn't utter

one word. She just let go.

No one was around when it

happened. There was no

applause or congratulations. No

one thanked her or praised her.

No one noticed a thing. Like a

leaf falling from a tree, she just

let go. There was no effort. There

was no struggle. It wasn't good

and it wasn't bad. It was what it

was, and it is just that.

In the space of letting go, she let

it all be. A small smile came over

her face. A light breeze blew

through her. And the sun and the

moon shone forevermore....
