It’s Gone!

It’s Gone! Not quite gone but only minutes away from being gone. It’s been the source of dissatisfaction in my life for years now. And today it’s about to be out of my house.  That is, if the men will get here to get it. What is it? My bed: or more specifically the mattress!

I bought it because I wanted to be like my sister with the “high” bed. I thought it would be fun to have a bed that you’d have to practically climb into, could jump up on or just lounge around in. Compared to how long I’ve had the bed and the inner turmoil it’s cost me, that fun didn’t last long. 

I’ve been feeling anxious all day thinking that getting this bed out of my house will turn out the way so many other things in my life have; with me NOT getting what I want. I’ve been casting down the imaginations that have been telling me that the guy is gonna refuse to take the mattress. I’m giving it to him for FREE! How could he turn it down?  I just called the friend that told him about the bed to see if he’s on his way: He Is!

It’s Gone! I mean really Gone! I almost cried. Not because I was sad but because it was really happening: I was getting a new start by letting go of something that once had me bound. Getting rid of this bed was symbolic of getting rid of those things in my life that held me down, made me feel stuck and intimidated me. Getting rid of this bed let me know that just because I’ve been in a situation for a while does not mean that things can’t and won’t change. 

What are you holding on to that you need to get rid of? It may not be a bed but a mindset, a habit or a relationship. Whatever that is keeping you from being the best you you can be, let it go today. A new life awaits you.
