I know from experience it is hard. I still continue to want to change the way things are. That is why I had to distance myself from the situation and try to continue on with my life. You know my story. I love what you are saying and you are making a difference, especially with me. Your words are inspiring.

Yes, many personal decisions made here. Hoping to be able to help someone else have the courage to go on living a peaceful life in spite of circumstances. I value your comments, as always, and even more -- I appreciate your encouragement and support.Maggie Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545097638753240362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453762715761840453.post-49716405036555306822011-08-28T03:33:31.903-07:002011-08-28T03:33:31.903-07:00Maggie this is quite impressive!
It seems to me, ...Maggie this is quite impressive!<br /><br />It seems to me, perhaps, if I'm reading this right, you have made a big step in your life about personal decisions you've been facing for a long time. In order for you to live with a greater inner peace, you've come to the realization of what is best for you, to finally let go and move on, and just let life happen, as you say, take its natural course.<br /><br />You are right, it doesn't mean you've stopped caring for or loving that person...you've just accepted how things are and can't change the outcome by yourself. Being powerless over wanting to change the situation can definitely eat away at you and consume your every thought. If this liberation, or setting free, brings new life, it is such a positive step forward.<br /><br />Perhaps setting a loved one free will allow them to have a different outlook on life, as well, and realize what they're losing in the relationship. Just maybe that will be the impact needed for change.<br /><br />When countless attempts have not worked, simply letting go is not failure or giving up...it's just a courageous acceptance of saying "my life matters, I need to live in peace and begin to live freely..."bghent52https://www.blogger.com/profile/01835645849673570604noreply@blogger.com
