Letting Go

Well I finally did it. I had done it mentally weeks ago, but yesterday, with the help of Kendra and Lesley, we all made a physical manifestion of a mental/spiritual decision. We went and got three black balloons, wrote all of things we are letting go and giving to the Lord in silver pen, and then went to the park and literally let them go.


I didn't feel as great as I thought I would right after but I did feel really good this morning, like a weight had been lifted from my chest. It was probably one of the most spiritual moments I've had outside of church. We read scriptures and a quote from President Monson, then we each took a turn saying what we were giving to the Lord. We all cried but only a little. As we let them go, I thought the relief would be immediate but the more I think about it, the more I realize that it takes work to let go. I have to constantly remind myself that I've let go.


It feels good.
