Letting Go

Today some plans went awry, and I'm still upset about it. I'm mostly upset with myself for not having the presence of mind to switch a couple of things around so that it could all work.

It's not a huge deal, but some of us were disappointed. I'd write about it (it's not a state secret, either), but I don't really have the energy to explain right now. 

Instead I'm going to work on letting it go. It won't matter in the long run.

I often give my daughters that kind of advice. And you know what? Not only does it often not matter in the long run, but things sometimes work out for the better in the long run (new opportunities come up...)

I'll second Betty's comment!

I know things can be disappointing in the moment, but I'm a big believer in everything happening the way they're supposed to happen, and someday in the future, you'll no doubt think, "Oh, it's a good thing we didn't ... ."

Beyond that, I tell myself, "Tsunami." (Sadly, the more current version of that is "Earthquake.") Translation: "Whatever my problem is pales in comparison to what some endure."

So, indeed, let it go. It's past. No point in dwelling.

Have a better day, muffin! Ooh, better yet, have a muffin! : o )

I continually work on myself to be more flexible but it is hard to let go the plans made. It is hard so hang in there.

I empathize completely. I had to cancel Luca's birthday party bumper cars at the local skating rink today. His entire class was coming, and I don't know that I can reschedule any time soon. I don't know who was more disappointed--him or me.

So David and I shoveled and ran the snow blower for HOURS, then cleaned the house for a couple more. And that helped me to move on, as being very busy both physically and mentally usually does.

Hang in there, enjoy every minute of this vacation with C&T, and let it go. ;-)
