Today is Let It Go Day (also known as Easier Said than Done Day). It’s also National Pink Day, Typewriter Patented Day and National Pecan Sandy Day. Come on – which deserves the kudos? How does one pick from these gems? Oh, the pressure! Speaking of…I believe I just made up my mind. According to my research, “Resentment, stress and worry can make you feel unwell. Letting it all go, through positive thought, yoga and meditation, or the realization that in the grand scheme of things whatever ‘it’ is, is not worth worrying about.”
I’ll buy that. So – here’s what I’m letting go of, starting immediately or sooner:
Stress (hmmm, I’ll try, I really will, unless I stress too much trying not to, er, stress…)
Bangs
Puce (love the color; I’m just not going to call it Puce anymore)
Reality TV (OK, well, can’t exactly say I’m going to as it has irritated and confounded me since Day One, but call it wishful thinking that everyone else will let it go and it’ll disappear!)
Lima beans
Snarky comments (received)
Nosebleed high heels
Zero calorie designer bottled water (how gullible are we?)
Coveting my neighbor’s perfect lawn
Snarky comments (given)
My lifelong crush on Larry King
And last but not least…Scrunchies
OK, wish me luck – now you…share…
