I woke up early as I usually do. This morning was different and somehow I sensed that something special was going to happen. Of course, I said to myself, something always happens. I even wrote down my thoughts at 5:16 a.m.
The first thing I realized was that over the course of the last week I had let go of a matter that had been troubling me. While I didn’t forgive the injustice and meanness that had occurred, I did find myself moving beyond those events. The past became history and I woke up realizing for the first time that the heaviness and obsession with the matter had left. Instead, I found I was looking forward to the day to see exactly what it would bring.
By 9:40 a.m. I had already received two phone calls each of which could have been a harbinger of the special happening. And later I received another phone call that was the good news I had sensed.
What will your day bring? Do you live your life waiting for something special to happen? With some matters as is the case with the phone call with the good news, there is nothing we can do but wait for others to act. Wishing and hoping won’t change the outcome will it? But with other matters like the burden of the past that had been weighing me down, we can control and change the course by letting go and moving on.

I absolutely love that very special sense of peace when you know that something is done.
The relief is awesome. By letting go of something that no longer serves me, I can anticipate something new taking its place; sometimes that involves a jog in my path.
The wisdom and peace comes when I recognize the right time to move on...and let go.
I am glad you managed to let go of a problem and got a wonderful result.
I have been trying to become more positive as we are told that negativity brings about negative happenings.
It must be beginning to work as two really good unexpected things happened to me last week :)
Wonderful painting.

Sorry my post should have been under Letting Go and Moving On. After the error message clicked the wrong spot :(
Jackie, I'm glad you stopped by and glad that two unexpectedly good things happened for you.
Marion, you are right about the peace. It's over and all of the negative energy spent lammenting can be put toward something else.
It's always good to be positive, to draw a line under things and move on Sheila. You feel so much better afterwards. Some things in life are out of our control anyway so why worry about them? That's what I always think anyway.
Yes, when we can't control we must let go or it's like beating our head on a rock. I have been so free since my decision. And I haven't forgotten, just traveled onward.
