Letting go

I had some personal stuff I was hanging onto until recently. Over the holiday's I let it go. For me I had to see if that was going to stick. Sometimes I let something go, but I pick it right back up on the first opportunity. I believe I can honestly say now that it has been let go. I have reached a new level of acceptance that the way I wanted things to be and the reality would never reconcile with one another.

So now I am accepting reality the way it is at face value. I have let go of the past and the way I wanted things to be and I have grown for the better. It's kind of like a tree that's dead, you cut it down and then a new tree will spring up from the old one. New life can't grow while the dead tree is there, but once you let the old go then the new can begin. It's just that a beginning, but it's better then the dead tree that was hanging around dropping branches and damaging things along the way.
