The Art of Letting Go

I have never been good at letting something go. Whether it was the choices my sisters made, a fight that I had with someone, a death, or something someone said to me. I have no clue why it is so tough for me to just let something be free from me. Not let myself get over emotional about it and just let it go, especially after 3 years have passed.

Back in February of 2004, my dog Gus died. He was ran over by some person in Wyoming at around 9:00pm at night. Ever since then my morale has been completely different. Gained weight, been depressed and it even ruptured a Thyroid problem I had. Well it still effects my morale to this day I feel. For the past few years I noticed that I still have not let myself go of my best friend.

Now I am sitting here looking at a picture of me a few months before Gus died. My whole ora(sp?) just seems to be brighter and happier. I cannot get over that. Which is how I started thinking about this subject again. I do not know why I am still holding on to this burden. All I know is that I am ready to move onto a happier and healthier life style. There is only one more move I have to make which I will take care of later tonight. After that, this segment is completed and I will move on. After that I hope to be seen as a whole new Jim. I also hope to get myself off my Thyroid medication. As I feel it is taking over me in a way I do not want it to. I need to be able to control my own emotions without the help of a pill.

My first step, after taking care of letting my best friend go and finally let myself be free will be a hike. Nothing better than a hike to get rid of un-wanted thoughts. I will leave them on the trail behind me.

Hopefully my morale will continue to get better and my life style will also be more pleasing for my wife and I. Let's see if I can start following through with what I start.
