Autumn Musings......

The "Leaves" I want to let go of....

I love Autumn. It's sort of a new beginning for me.

It's a time to reflect and ponder and embrace breath taking

visuals of color and warmth.

It's also a good time to rid yourself of

extra "leaves" that can make the seasons of your life

more difficult.

This year as I see the fiery red and golden leaves let go of their

attachments and welcome the winter season, I too

am reminded to let go and prepare for what lies ahead.

*****

let go--of trying to be all things to all people

((I'm OK with just being me))

let go--of volunteering for everything

((I'm not superwoman,

 "I know, that one came as a big surprise"))

Let go of my youth--It's OK to be happy

 and content being the age I am

and looking the way I do

((embracing your age is so liberating))

let go of comparisons--I'm weird and so is every one else

((accept others weirdness with more tolerance))

let go of what ifs-- can't fix what has already happened

((live in the present with gratitude))

let go of counting--life is not fair

((unless your counting blessings,

 then you will find yourself way ahead of others))

let go of faster and faster--slow down.

(( Everything does not have to happen today))

let go of having to be happy all the time--

((contentment, gratitude and joy in the little things matter more,

than being on top of the world every minute))

let go of feeling entitled--I don't deserve anything.

((when you get something appreciate it to its fullest))

let go of having to be right all the time--

(( that means stop blaming, criticizing and stop changing others))

Wow!!!

I already feel better, and determined to try once again to be better.

Do you have " leaves" that need letting go?
