What is done is done, what has passed is gone and there is nothing I can do about it. I did my best, and even if it wasn’t perfect I tryed and it was enough with what I was able to give in that space on that day. There were some trials and difficulty but I handled it to the best of my ability and remained calm, there were some sorrows but I let it be felt, there were some joys and laughs and I soaked it all in as memories with the people I love.
 
I will not compare my week to anyone else’s. It was mine alone and I love it, cherish every moment I’ve been given. There is no competition, there is no envy, there is peace an effort. I’ll try to be a better me for the week to come but, just for today, I release the need to do anything and I’m at peace to just sit and be for a while. I will not let the beauty of the season changing pass me by. I’ll notice this transient moment of nature that will never ever happen again exactly as it is happening now. I will be present and grounded. I will show my respects to the cycles of nature that comprise me as well. I will give thanks and be grateful for the autumn bounty that sustains my body, and the visual spectacle that does the same for the soul. I will say thank you often this weekend and take the time to appreciate what I’ve started to take for granted, the people, relationships and connections, the quiet moments that I’m granted to feel it all, the loud ones that mean I’m in the midst of things happening and have people to share it with.
 
I’ll take the time to let go what is no longer necessary to get where I’m going, I’ll release without fear because there is so much still to come and to greet or endure. I’ll take some space to realign with myself and retreat to hear my own voice again. I’ll say “yes” to the things I want to do, and a kind “no” to what I don’t see as a part of this realigning. There will be no anger, no forcing, no demands, just acceptance and gentleness, towards myself and others. I will not be bound to the notions of who I was or am going to be. I’ll just enjoy some time with my person as it is and say thank you for all that unfolded for her/him. I’m where I need to be. It’s not always perfect, but it is mine and I love it. All I need to do on this afternoon is exist. This is enough, this is plenty.
