The Intentional Gratitude Project: Letting Go

Letting Go

Twenty two years ago my dad got sick.
Twelve years ago my dad died.
About seven years ago with the help of a friend I hunted down his cremated remains at the funeral home.
This summer I am taking him to his final resting place.

I had a long time to deal with all that. Yet this last step hurts like hell. This last little piece of letting go is stinging. I don't know why, I am just paying attention to it.

I didn't see this coming.

Today I am grateful for the happy times we spent together.
May you be blessed by living in the moment.

Some Things to Keep in Mind

~I am not perfect. I embrace my imperfection. Many of the statements I make are ideals and I fall short of them more than I would ever like to admit. So if you are going to read this have grace for those moments when I am glaringly falling short.

~I am not an expert. I am just sharing my experiences particularly those centered on womanhood and faith. Particularly my experiment, I like to call intentional gratitude.

~I didn’t always think this way. My world view constantly shifts as I grow.

~This is purely a read at your own risk sort of writing. Sometimes I am funny. Sometimes I am thought provoking. Sometimes my humanness gets the best of me and I am downright mean or miserable. More often than not I am just contemplating things “out loud”.
