Today I’m over at Stories That Must Not Die writing about the power of letting go.
I recently said goodbye to something that had long since run its course. Like bad milk you let sit in the fridge and accidentally drink in a sleepy haze, it continually left a bad taste in my mouth. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over expecting different results, and I definitely had a case of The Crazies.

Negativity is a terrible thing, and really does just eat up all of your happiness.
So glad you liked this 🙂
Glad you’re learning to free yourself. Because you’re right, anger and resentment don’t win you any prizes. Which of course sucks.
“…anger and resentment don’t win you any prizes.” I love that! It’s so true.
