This Thanksgiving, I notice a theme: Letting go.
Letting go of expectations – of myself and others. If your life has been feeling heavy lately, this will instantly lighten things up. Trust me – I know this from experience.
Letting go of “someday”. One of the most visible ways I’ve done this is clearing my closet of all the clothes I might wear “someday”. While I’m waiting for “someday” to show up, some other woman somewhere is freezing her ass off, feeling bad about how she looks, or just wants something new but can’t afford to go shopping.
Some of these clothes don’t fit me at the moment, but most of them just don’t fit my life anymore. At one time, they were each “favorites” – clothes that made me feel good wearing them. But my need for them now is minimal compared to the good they can bring someone else. So I packed them up this morning and will be sending them on.
Letting go of “should”-ing myself. When I think or speak of things I “should” do, I create a stress gap between them and me. After all, there’s some reason I’m not doing them. Those reasons might be valid or completely irrational, but I know this for sure: I have enough stress in my life without adding more unnecessarily.
I've only read a couple of posts but I already get the impression that you, Suzanne, are full of positive energy.

Letting go is a little life secret, but a HUGE life lesson. Something that I myself am finally learning after a summer filled with life lessons.
It is not easy to let go something… I have problem with this all the time. Just let go of this – some people tell me from time to time. But it is surely very hard sometimes…
Thanks for the tips. There is a fine line between letting go and giving up. We just have to be wise.
Keep up the good work Suzanne.
Thanks for the tips, it's really life enhancing i mean, all the heavy stuff you are expecting will be a bit lighter if you know how to let go.. thank you!
