All things in life come to an end. When and how things end, vary. Sometimes we don't even think about something ending. Other times we agonize over it. Life is constantly changing. Events and people come and go. Closure doesn't always come right away. Without closure, it's hard to move on. This past year, I've talked a lot about letting go of expectations and accepting changing relationships. For the most part, I've gotten closure with the majority of my past. Yet, every once in a while, something or someone will sneak up on me of which I realize I haven't let go. For some, it's mental and I need to do it within me. For others, it's needing to tell them something. Either way, it takes time. The larger the influence, the harder it is to let go. Thankfully, I have come to a place in my life where I know closure will come, eventually. Each thought or exposure will bring me one step closer to letting go. To moving on. I won't forget my past since it's made me who I am, but I can let go of things and people who do not belong in my future.

The shower, Sheila. That's where I do my reflecting. And mowing the lawn. Those are my best thinking times. Or, the rare occasion that I'm alone in my car :)

For me it's about forgiveness. Once I can finally forgive someone for the crappy things they did or said....I feel so much freer. And it's easier to not have that person in my life anymore, because once I forgive...I stop caring so much. Closure is a wonderful thing!!!!

I was thinking about this comment and thinking how forgiveness and closure aren't the same for me, but then it came to me, they are linked. Sometimes the one I have to forgive is myself. That's harder.
