Day 219: Letting Go

You've got the song on the repeat loop in your head now don't you?  Sorry about that.  Today's Gratitude Attitude isn't about the song but it is kind of about the message of the song. Darn it, it's stuck in my head...again.
I'm grateful for the principle of learning to let go.  And I believe, at least in my life, it is a learning curve.  I found it incredibly difficult to let go of certain situations, people, habits in my life. But I'm  learning.  I'm learning how to draw healthy boundaries, how to say "no", how to not be obligated, how to find closure on my own when it isn't possible to do so collectively, etc.  I'm learning how to let go and still maintain civility, courtesy, and even surface relationship.  I'm learning how to let go so that the healthier and better options have freedom to enter into my life.
Since the learning curve for me is probably lifelong and I love quotes because they serve as reminders and inspiration I even created a Pinterest board about learning to let go to be a reminder to me.
What about you? Do you find it easy or difficult to let go? Or is it situational?

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
