Harder Than I Thought

Ok so it has been much more difficult to get rid of material possessions than I thought it would be. I thought I was doing good and was going through some of my kitchen items. Then I came across a box that had some papers and  in it were some cards that Russell had give me....birthday cards etc. I don't know why but I became very upset. I was in the process of throwing them away. Then I talked to Peter and he said....no, don't throw them away, just pack them away. So that is what I did. But I still hate that I let such a minor thing get me upset for the rest of the night.

  1. Oh I can so understand that one, Barb! Its amazing how much simple objects contain a wealth of emotion even years later. I remember I wrote a bunch of nice letters to my lady when we were parted, and she to me, but I just couldnt keep them for various reasons. I don't regret it coz the love remains, and that's the important thing. You loved, and you love.

  2. People need to cry; it's part of the healing process. And the cards aren't really a little thing. I mean, they meant a lot to you when they were given, didn't they? Don't beat yourself up over it; if you need to cry, cry, then continue setting up the new life you're making for yourself.

    The universe often brings something to our attention that needs clearing from our souls so that we can move on...feel it, acknowledge it...work on it if necessay and then let it pass...♥

  4. Anthony,I can understand not keeping them. I think eventually I will just throw them away but not right now.

  5. Tori, So true. Lately it seems like very day is getting a little better. I don't feel so depressed anymore. I think that moving on with my life is helping with that.

  6. Sacred Keep,that clearing is quite a process....I think I'm fine and then something comes up to make me relive it all over again.

  7. You're in a hurry to be on with your life, but the heart often takes its own sweet time healing. It's just part of the process. You'll have moments and triggers for a while. That was years of your life and you loved him. Just know that if those times do come--they will go quickly and you can get back to getting on with your life. You're doing just fine. All this only recently happened, after all. Be kind to yourself. :)

  8. Tori and Rita are wise.

    I suspect this is about the 15th life time for each of them.
