Letting go for some of us is really hard. Moving ahead into uncharted waters is always a bit scary. Every day is new, but then one morning we can begin to hear the rumble of the falls downstream. They were always getting closer, but now we are more aware of the impending challenge and the rapids that will come quickly after, but we have also, almost imperceptibly, been increasing our navigational skills. It will be challenging, but we are prepared to take this on and make it through whatever lies ahead.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853882654794144432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-46582441802701141032017-05-02T08:05:18.604-07:002017-05-02T08:05:18.604-07:00love it!

Of course! I am kinda you...I chose to read this .. Of course! I am kinda your fan! But here's a thought. Spoiler ... it's out there. The saying no thing. From one people pleaser to another, I get it, we want to meet the expectations the world has of us? We don't want to let people down ... yadda yadda yadda. When I too decided I needed to reclaim some of myself and time, the words in my head were similar to yours, but I got this flash that shone on my ego, too. Yes people will get over it if I say "no", but ... also ... those people will go on to someone else and ask them. What I discovered is, I wasn't as indespensible as I thought. My "no's" are crucial mostly to me, not the rest of the universe. Ouch, right? It felt very good though to put myself on the plane of the rest of the human race. Ego, begone! Your post reminded me just when I needed it. Your da bomb!Nans Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357495706716169191noreply@blogger.com
