Sweet Story

Just thought I would share the story Michael wrote in school today. Too sweet!!

Letting Go

These last few months have been a very difficult time in our family with everything that has happened. I realize now that I have a lot of anger and resentment harbored away in me that is making it impossible to function normally. I also realize that it is not healthy, not for me or any one of us. We may always have issues that hurt the heart, but I see now that I am missing out on the most important thing there is... family. Focusing on the negative seems to drown out any new and good memories we seem to be making.

No more.... I am making a promise to myself to learn how to let go. I was in my yoga class last week and she said something that brought tears to my eyes. "We all need to let go of our negative energy and see the beautiful things that are right in front of us." So I am letting go and refuse to miss out on anything else. Here are some beautiful things I see right in front of me...

Laughs like these...

Making crafts like these (What can I say, R? You inspire me!)

And, of course, the first day of school...

So here's to the new us!! May we always see the beautiful things right in front of us...
