Day 3364: Letting go

At the end of my Coping and Healing groups, members are letting go by throwing things away in my magic wastebasket.

I’ve witnessed people letting go of anxiety, shame, toxic people, COVID, etc. at the end of every group.

Speaking of letting go, I have a story about Joan, seen above with the magic wastebasket. Yesterday, Joan ran into the magic wastebasket room with her favorite toy mouse in her mouth and something else, letting go of both of them. Letting go of our assumptions and expectations, we realized that Joan had captured a live bird inside our home!

Letting go of our disbelief, we watched as Joan kept letting go of the bird and capturing it again. My husband Michael grabbed the bird with some cooking tongs, holding it gently and not letting go (despite Joan’s insistence that he do so). Michael decided the best course of action was letting go of the bird outside the front door. Letting go of our worst fears that the bird was dead or grievously injured, we watched the bird fly away, seemingly okay, after Michael let it go.

Do you see letting go in any of my other images for today?

Thanks to all who help my letting go every day in this blog, including YOU!
