Cut the line

Hello Everyone. I hope the week as been good to you. Every day is a new start. I had a moment today I'll share. I have had increasingly negative experiences with a person who i used to be friends with. Basically I've always known this person is a negative source of energy. But for some reason I've always assumed that the person would turn around one day and be different, nice maybe. Today I deleted them out of my phone and to me that’s a symbolic thing. Every day is a gift to me and every day I will improve. Today is no different. I don't wish any unhappiness on anyone but I refuse to be less happy because of my interactions during the day. I know only I can control how I react - no matter what happens to me. The air feels fresher when you let go and cut the line from someone that can't control you anymore. It may seem silly but my life is mine and I won't allow anger or even negative feelings I had for someone control me. Just taking them out of my phone eases my mind. A very small step to many but to me it’s the midst of a glorious revival. :) They who anger you - control you. And it is the truth. Don't be afraid to let it go. Sometimes there is nothing to gain by hanging on for no reason. If someone or something doesn’t improve the quality of your life. Let it go- life is not long enough to harbor ill will and when its directed at me I am now more than happy to move on to people that are a benefit to me. One person can't fix it. It takes two. I am happy to learn that. Free it up people. -Josie

two beautiful women

Two beautiful women

Galloped up a hill

Their red manes flowed in unison

The beauty that surrounded them was absorbed into their skin

Green grass, still water, warm sun and cool breezes filled them with each step

They ran because it was what they felt like doing – there is nowhere to be but there

When they had their fill of nature’s beauty of trees and their new air- they retired for awhile

A welcome rest follows and will undoubtedly repeat itself once again
