ME  THINKS

Let it Go.

I've been thinking a lot about this since I saw this graphic on pinterest. 

 How many times in life do we hang onto things from the past, for the future, for now ...expectations all around us... 

past expectations, feelings and dreams. 

Sometimes there comes a point that to be truly happy you have to 

let some things GO.

To the person

 who cries every month that maybe this is the month things are going to change, dreams are going to come true, life is going to change

Getting past that is hard like really hard. i know.

Feeling like as each year creeps up we get more uneasy that it won't happen ......feeling like our faith and hope has wavered time and time again yet its always been strong and trusting in what was to come or happen so letting go of

The uneasy feeling.   the Monthly.  daily disappointments

the hopes, dreams, fears and expectations of what we always planned or dreamed would happen in each of our lives

 isn't going the way we planned............ its so so to give up on that.

But it isn't giving up...... its choosing a new reality accepting a new road...

WE have to LET IT GO and accept the new plan, the plan B the new dreams the new hopes

Whether its this

or million other expectations in our marriages, our health, our homes, our children  every aspect of each of our lives...

the things we dreamed for each one that went not so as planned we have to

LET IT GO.

Instead we need to 

accept it and dream in other ways 

make a new plan, pray, appreciate the finer points instead of the if onlys and what ifs.....find the simple things.....

Because hanging onto to the what if's and if only's can drive us insane and only make us unhappier as the years go by

I think for me I've come to the conclusion that letting IT go {whatever your IT may be} is probably best for all....... most of all myself..... quit dwelling on it, living on it, crying over it.... 

get up .....plan something new exciting and

BE HERE NOW enjoy what we do have the privileges we have been given and LET IT GO
 

Because there are just some things we can't change and then there are SO many we can change in order to be truly happy to learn to

grow and accept what we can't change

 and change what we can't accept.

LETTING {IT} GO.

Let what doesn't matter, what you can't change or whats already happened be just that..... move onto plan B we all deserve the best life can offer us and we only hinder and hold ourselves back.

Take a happier step in a new direction.

and Let the rest GO.

Had to get that out first:)

W e e k e n d  R e c a p

 It was a very long week with the kids out of school and trying to keep them busy and having a revolving door of kids in and out kind of throws the routine out the window and you all know I thrive on that:) But there were good and fun moments between the fighting and boredom 

{which doesn't last long in this house because there is always something that needs cleaned;)

Onto the weekend D was on scout camp for part of a night anyway ended up bringing sick boys home early in the morning...

but I finally finished Downton Abbey and cried my eyes out and now I can move on:) I get "a little addicted" to shows like that and can't think of much else till I finish it so I watched all three seasons in a week and half pretty much worth every second:) 

{See this post for link to all three seasons free just click play and go:)

Sunday we finally got into town to see D's grandma and got some pictures with her she turns 90 next month and a big party is planned and I realized we didn't have enough pictures with her. Only problem was there wasn't someone to take one of all of us together oops didn't think that far ahead :) But we had a great visit with her love her! And spent time at both of our parents houses in the afternoon and evening so it was a good day:) {M was in a mood and half ex.his facial expressions:)
