let it go. . .

i've been using this visualization lately. with anything i don't need, any emotion, any worry, any annoyance. . . i imagine filling a balloon up with it and letting it go. . . watching it float up up and away, leaving me lighter.

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
