Shedding Shit and Smilin

This past week has been transformational in mind, spirit, soul and space.   I have purged not only my home but myself. Getting rid of (finding a new home at Goodwill) so many things that held memories good and bad has been an enlightening process.  Along the way, my mind has relived so many great memories and filled me with joy.   The bad memories tried really hard to become present so I fought them off with positive thoughts, the good will always be more important than the bad.

I cried, happy tears of flooding memories of my little babies, knowing how lucky I have been to be their Mom.   Little notes they wrote me, cards they gave, pictures they drew.   I even found a song that daughter  #2 had written about me...."Mama, mama".   The joy I am finding reliving these memories and knowing that releasing "things" isn't taking anything away from my joy, it lives in my heart.

Life is too short to allow my past to dictate my present, to mold my future, to steal away my hope and happiness.    I am moving forward in this journey, moving to brighter happier days, a lighter more peaceful soul.   I'm starting over, I am so excited about living this next chapter.
