Letting Go

I am the midst of sorting out the masses of paper I have accumulated over the past few years.

Sometimes it is hard to let go. But letting go I am, well sort of, I still have the ‘maybe’ pile that I will tackle another time. I am enjoying sifting through some of my old notes on herbal medicine and I have found some really wonderful reminders of the special people in my life, through letters and cards that I have received. I’m putting those in a box that I can reflect on when I am having one of my ‘not so good’ days.

It has also brought up some sadness as I sort through some of mother’s papers that I had put away after her death. As I held a knitting pattern that my mum had hand written and lovingly kept as a favourite, I felt her presence here with me today. Miss you, Mum. xxxx

I need to remember that I am a collector of knowledge and that I love to network, so I am being gentle with myself in accepting that this job may take quite some time. The time is right though. I’m ready to clear away the old stuff and bring in the new. Get more organised.

I am loving my ‘new look’ lounge area, so much space. xxxx It feels relaxing and good to be home. My spare room is still looking a little crowded. Still, I am happy that there is progress, and that my little flat is looking and feeling like ‘home’. Patience. One day at a time.

The recycling bin is filling up fast. I live in love and gratitude.

What do you need to sort through and let go of?
