It is safe to say that everyday we have the choice of deciding many things. We have the choice to smile or frown, to be happy or sad, to live or die, to lie or to tell the truth, to show our true feelings or to hide under the many masks that we all wear.

This little bit of knowledge is something that I think I forgot. I forgot that I had the choice.

I am in the middle of reading a book called Traveling Light. Now I don't know if its a modern way of thinking or a post modern, or if its relevant or not, what I do know is that for no apparent reason it caught my attention at the library last week and has stuck with me.

I am finding it very interesting... it talks specifically about that fact that every day we choose to carry with us an abundance of bags. Bags of sorrow, grief, arrogance and trunks of guilt that drag us down. This led me to thinking about what I have been carrying with me. Whether it be recently or from years long ago, I continue to carry this stuff that loads me down.

Now, I by no means necessary have life figured out, but this book has got me thinking that maybe its time to give it all up. Time to LET IT GO.

A lot of my posts lately have been echoing similar thoughts so why is it that I am still hanging on for dear life??? I don't know.

But I do know that I am going to try really hard to make better decisions about what I carry with me.
