Letting go of the Past

Letting go of the past has never been easy for me. I have spent a lot of time there in the past and even  recently. I let it get me down and rule my life and it has an effect on every aspect of my life. I gained weight, I spent more time in bed than out, I focused on those things that were really bothering me. Recently, one night as I spoke to a good friend, I was able to express some of the frustrations I was having. I realized that the past is just that. The Past. I needed to do something to get out of the past and back into the present. I have since been able to get out of bed each morning and do something productive. It is amazing what a good talk with a good friend can do for you. Anyway, as I work on my happiness, and bringing myself back from the past, I am feeling better each day. 

These quotes have really touched me deeply this week as I have worked on bringing myself back to the present. They have true meaning in my life and I hope that I will be able to grieve my losses and trust God. I am ready to embrace the life I have and work toward my goals with more intention and faith in the Lord. 

I am currently going to a therapist who got to hear quite the earful the other day. He and I will be working through the past, and until that happens, I am focusing on the present. Wishing things were different is not going to make things change. Acting and working on the things you want changed will. So I am done wishing things were different and I am ready to move forward. I hope you all have a wonderful week. :) A guest post will be coming soon! I am excited to share!
