Thirteen Things About Letting GoSomething

Since this is Thursday Thirteen’s Retirement Edition… the last one ever, I thought I’d commemorate it with a few last notes on letting go.

1. All things must come to an end. The Buddhists have a saying: This too shall pass. Everything, good or bad, will eventually pass us by.
2. There is a natural cycle to earth - birth, life, death, and rebirth. When one cycle closes, another can begin.
3. Tears are only natural.
4. Laughter truly is the best medicine.
5. Memories get sweeter with time.
6. Some of the best things in life are the most short-lived.
7. When the time comes to say goodbye, have no regrets, but burn no bridges. Life can bring you down this same road again in the future - but then again, you might never see it again.
8. Honor your blessings, and grieve for your losses - not the other way around.
9. Try not to worry too much about what could have been. Life has a funny way of taking us right where we need to be - even if we can’t see it at the time.
10. What fulfills you one day may bog you down a year from now. Let it go and cherish the good memories you once had… rather than letting the bad fill you up and breed resentment.
11. The world does go on after tragedy. Move with it. All things soften with the river of time.
12. Let go of the old to make room for the new.
13. Don’t cling to the past, or relics of it - remember it, cherish it, and honor it, but don’t let it rule the present or the future.

   It is hard to believe it is really true.

   Ecclesiastes 3:1

   Have a blessed Thursdady!
