letting go {and #capturingmymoments}

I am not sure why, but I have had an influx of GFC followers

this week, but I love love LOVE it!  Hello to you, my new

follower:)  Welcome!  And thanks so much for staying.

Happy Friday to you!  Today is the last day of May, which means 

today is the last day for topics from Story of My Life.  Also, for those 

of you who are new around here, sharing my #capturingmymoments

hashtag project over on Instagram.  I'll get to that a little later though.

Like I said, today is the last day for blogging everyday in May

from Story of My Life.  While I did not participate in all of the prompts, 

I did enjoy having it there as an excuse to blog more.  I really had fun
with this and I have no idea what I am going to blog about in June (well at 

least until I get back from our trip to Palo Alto).  

Anywayyyyyy, yesterday's prompt was to respond to "Letting go."

I really liked the idea of this one since I have been doing a lot of

that recently: 

I have let go of the idea that my parents will always approve 

of the decisions I make in my life.  I have to live my life, for me.

No one else.  My parents have raised me to the person I am today.

While I would like to think they are proud, I cannot let worrying 

about what they think get in the way of living. 

I have let go of the person who I thought I was supposed to be so 

I can become the person I am meant to be.  Sound familiar?

It is the new-ish motto of this blog (and my life).  When I was younger I

had my life planned out completely different than it has so far turned out.
So instead of  being disappointed by that I am choosing to love the life I have
because if I am really honest with myself, I am, for the first time in
my life, actually happy and content.  

Now, it's time to share some of my favorites from the hashtag project

on Instagram.  New around these parts? Here is the what the project is

all about.  

Thanks to everyone who participated:)  I was excited to see some

new names on there!  Please spread the word.  Also, if your account

is private make sure you follow me (I'll follow back!) so you show

up in the #capturingmymoments feed.  

And yes, I do realize I did not share my 365 last week.  I was going

to today, but husband just got home and quite frankly, I am starting to sweat 

my tush off so I am signing off until tomorrow.
