Text Box: One to take with you:  "To let go isn't to forgot, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn't leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn't about winning or losing. It's not about pride and it's not about how you appear, and it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn't blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn't leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It's not about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn't about loss and it's not about defeat. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind confidence in the future. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It's about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up. It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path and set yourself free."

Text Box: life.  It’s hard to tell, sometimes, if you are really letting go or just convincing yourself that the path you are on is better.  Or are they one in the same?  Here is a quote I had written just recently in response to the whole “Mr. Good Enough” question.  

“It’s times like this that I realize that Mr. Right is not the man who sweeps you off your feet and takes your breath away.  Mr. Right is the man who is there for you when you’re feeling at your lowest; he’s there when you don’t want him to be but when you need him to be.  Mr. Right is not the Text Box: I hope each of you enjoyed this newsletter and its theme.  Letting go is an important step we each must take throughout our lives.  Quotes always make things so much easier, don’t you think?  That is, after all… why I got into quotations to begin with.  I want to encourage each of you to write your own.  Send me your letting go quotes, and I will put them up on my website.  Quotes are best when they come from the heart and from people who have been there (or are currently).  Letting go is something that I have had to try for many years of my Text Box: man who let you down and played with your heart for years on end; he’s the one who consoled you even if he knew your heart did not have a large enough vacancy to encompass his.  What may appear like the nice guy—the one that you have overlooked so many times—may just be the one who challenges you, encourages you to be a better person, supports you, and loves you without cessation.  He is the one that it is safe to give your heart to and trust the ground you fall on, because he will never hurt you and never stop proving he is worthy of your love.” – JoAnne Golden
