Ok, remember that offending lingerie? Those pieces that were hanging in my closet? They are now ash. Literally. Talk about a release. A good feeling. Tossed them in the fire place. They kinda made me shudder. Amazing how touching them can bring back memories. Pains. Pretty intense. And I did it. With a friend sitting by. It rather amused me. Freeing. Letting go.
It actually made me think how good it would feel to let go of different things. Not a bad idea. Good plan. Not in a destructive way. Simply a...purging. There are things that are just too hurtful.
I won't burn pictures. I won't get rid of our history. I will learn to allow it to be a part of my story. To remember that ALL that has been a part of my life is part of what has made me the woman I am. And the painful times....the painful people....they have a place. But they donBurning...'t need to stay in my present.
Well, I might burn a few pictures. But not all. I'll put some away until I can cope. I'll put some up to let my kids know that it's ok. But not quite yet.
Too bad I can't do the same with my internal hurts...turn them to ash.
Burning is satisfying. Purifying. Those pieces of lingerie are gone for good. Forever and ever. This is a very good thing. Brings me hope.
grace to you.
