Weekly Gratitude: Saturday August 7th, 2021

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a good start. My week has consisted of cleaning out my closet and working through some emotions. My post on Tuesday triggered something that showed me I still haven’t finished crying over my last relationship, which is okay. I have to remind myself that crying is not a weakness and that I’m allowed to mourn however I want. That’s not why we’re here today though because today is a day to show our gratitude for all the blessings of the week.

Monday 08/02: A productive job search day.
Tuesday 08/03: Catching up and being silly with a friend.
Wednesday 08/04: Randomly connecting with someone on Twitter who made my night.
Thursday 08/05: Finding out that I’m being missed too and that it’s not just me.
Friday 08/06: The realization that it’s over finally sinking in. It’s about time I let go of false hope.

That took a sad turn, didn’t it? I admit that I’m sad, but I also recognize the power that actively deciding to move on has on our mental state. I have to remember that it’s possible to feel more than one thing at the same time; and while again, yes I’m sad, I’m also feeling grateful. I’ve seen enough to finally be able to let go and truly start to move on. It’s a powerful feeling.
