We've all experienced it at one time or another. The door that closes...the chapter that's finished...the plans that changed. It occurred to me last night as I was closing the door to our old house, heading home to our beautiful new house, that this could possibly be the last time I close that particular door. Now we are more happy in our new home then we were in old home. We have a peaceful feeling there, and an air of excitement over all the new adventures to come. Its perfect for our family of 3! We love every inch of it :) But still, the finality of it all began to sink in. Closing that door had a lot of significance. It felt like in that moment I was closing off part of my past that is long gone. My memories of days gone by seem to be reduced to boxes and bags, with piles of things we need and things to donate. In this situation I am faced with thoughts of what to keep and what to let go of. Things to Keep & move with me: The good moments The happy times The warm fuzzy memories The laughter The holidays The sweet noises The smiles The family dinners The things we've learned The way we've loved The joy...this is what I choose to keep from our old home. Things to Let Go The hurt The shame The guilt The scornfulness The anger The bad The mistrust The hate The yelling The ugly...this is what I choose to let go of. If you are holding on to the ugly that has happened in your life I encourage you to let it go. Nothing can hold you back! If you are in a situation like us where a door is closing behind, take all the joy from the past with you to carry into the future :) Choose Joy!
