Regrets.

A few short months ago, I couldn't imagine things changing any more than they already had in my life. I set out on this journey west, fully present in the decision making and determination to persevere. There were days of difficulty I didn't know if I could bear........

After our move, I couldn't imagine being without my daughter; her dreams were our driving force to get here. But on this last Saturday in April, we moved her into her own place, without hurt in my heart or tears in my eyes. I freely let her go.....

I think the initial process of "letting go," no matter the situation or circumstance, may be the hardest hurdle to jump because of history and meanings behind memories ..... but it seems to have gotten a little easier. My focus is shifting, just as my life has.

My closet is literally very empty, so I'm quite motivated to build my wardrobe ..... and myself. There are things I've wanted to do for myself for a very long time, to get "stronger." I hope to begin to make some things happen, like long walks on the beach to clear my head and heart.......

It can become so very hard to let go. For me, to live life without regrets is to actively engage it, every single day. The intentional decision has to be an internal one.......

Our "mourning" is meant to "last for a night" because "joy comes in the morning." a Psalm of David.

Goodnight.
