Moving Forward

Now that we are getting toward the end of the year, it seems like the proper time to look back and contemplate what we learned from the past year.  I am grateful over the past year for the people whom I met.  New relationships build with the past relationships continuing or ending depending on the circumstance.  I have found letting go difficult at times, and today is one of them.  Without letting go and moving forward, I fear that I will lose more than I will gain.  The time is now to look back to see how we can be present.  How we can also move forward into the new year with less baggage/weight to carry on our backs.
