Today's thought is:
Love has a hundred gentle ends.
--Leonora Speyer
Letting go is a process that is seldom easy. For many, its meaning is elusive. How do we "let go"? Letting go means removing our attention from a particular experience or person and putting our focus on the here and now. We hang on to the past, to past hurts, but also to past joys. We have to let the past pass. The struggle to hang on to it, any part of it, clouds the present. You can't see the possibilities today is offering if your mind is still drawn to what was.
Letting go and be a gentle process. Our trust in our higher power and our faith that good will prevail, in spite of appearances, eases the process. And we must let each experience end, as its moment passes, whether it is good or bad, love or sorrow. It helps to remember that all experiences contribute to our growth and wholeness. No experience will be ignored by the inner self who is charting our course. All are parts of the journey. And every moment has a gentle end, but no moment is forgotten.
My journey today is akin to yesterday's journey and tomorrow's too. I will savor each moment and be ready for the next.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Have been missing my aunt and memories have been coming up. I was sharing with a good friend some of the good and some of the not quite so good, the ones that I had made amends to her for.
I find myself wanting to pick up the phone and share with her and this article made me aware that it is a process, I won't be able to let go overnight, and that time is a great healer. She is in a much better place, a place she wanted to be.
A gratitude too that I have changed my ways, that I am no longer the person that had to make amends to her and knowing that she is very aware of who I have become and I am very grateful for her love and prayers, which were a big part of me being who I am in today.
