Today's Language of Letting Go entry is about asking for what we want. Upon reflection, I find that the things that I have asked God for recently have come to pass. The pain in my stomach is passing as things are clearing up; my relationship is steadily improving; and I'm learning to be present with myself. These are all things that I asked for in one way or another. It's so easy sometimes to focus only on the bad things, but int he midst of the suffering of the last few months have been some wonderful moments and great progress. I feel like I cleared some hurdle recently and, even though I'm still not 100% "there", I realize that I don't have to be "there" to be myself and do what I want to do. That makes a big difference. It's made me feel okay to set goals for my writing again. Maybe I'll even paint again soon. So today, I am grateful.
