Reflection

I haven't posted in some time due to the fact that I went back to work fulltime this year and once the school year began, well, life just started rolling along and I found myself falling asleep early, rather than having time to sit down and get inside my own thoughts.

So thanks, to a friend, I've been introduced to http://www.reverb10.com/the-prompts/ which is an online initiative to get you to write and reflect.  Being a very reflective person by nature, I thought what a great way to get back to my writing.  I know a lot of people enjoyed reading about my summer adventure with Bop, and although I don't think my day to day life is that exciting, there have been some exciting events since the summer.

I probably should start with the prompt from December 1st, but I'm not about going backwards, so I'm just going to pick up with today's prompt.

December 5: Let Go. What or whom did you let go of this year? Why?

This year I let go of my need to be in control of things all the time.  Sometimes we're forced to let go of this, and maybe I was forced to accept it, but I did let go of the need because I realized it just wasn't worth worrying about so much.  Are there things I like to stay in control of? Of course, I'm not sure  I know a human being who doesn't appreciate controlling their own way.  But by letting go of this need, I've been able to relax and just enjoy life more.
