Let it go!

If there is anything that I have learned - it is that you never know what to expect.

Recently, I have had some things happen that have really bothered me. Nothing major, but with some of the most important people in my life. As I have sat back & really thought about the happenings; one thought has come to mind: Life is too short to harbor hurt feelings. We all seem to let the smallest things get in under our skin. There have been feelings shared & there have been feelings that have been hurt. No one is perfect, but when someone does not behave the way we expect them to, then all too often, we place a label put on them. And really who wants to be labeled?

You know the saying making mountains out of mole hills. Well, that is generally the case when there are disagreements or misunderstandings. I feel like it is very important to take a step back & look at the whole picture. Is it really going to change the outcome of someones life? If not, then, let it go!!! We never know how long we are going to have in this life. Do we really want something to happen & have hurt feelings or cruel things be the last thing shared between us?

Last week, some people that we know lost their 1 year old child to a sudden and still unexplained accident. When I heard about this, it really up set me. Anyone of us could lose one of our loved ones at any time. The question that we will most definitely be asking ourselves will be: Have I taken the time to share my love & affection with them?

Life is not perfect! It never will be & we never will be. We need to love & accept one another for who we are. Life truly is a beautiful mess & I wouldn't want to miss it for anything!
