Let Go

Hello Everyone:

My weekend was spent recovering from my allergies. I was well enough on Thursday to get all the housework and laundry done with plenty of time to get my hair trimmed ahead of the niece's big day. The best of was I got an appointment with the person who did my hair last time and he took me earlier that scheduled. After that I went to see the movie Elle at the PLB Theater. Friday was pretty good. I felt well enough to go to the park for a workout. I made it without wheezing too much. Saturday, I slept until almost 10:00 am. Now that's really sleeping in. My allergies really got the better of me this time. The good news is the blotches on my arms and legs seem to be clearing up. I'm scratching less but the skin is still quite sensitive. I think the cream body wash and lotion I bought Thursday seems to help.  All of this has definitely perked up my mood.  Not even the spring rain, a rarity in Los Angeles, can dampen the good buzz I'm feeling now. Let me amend that, not even mom's haranguing about the wedding can dampen my buzz. Today's meditation was a good one-letting go. Letting go of the all the fears and  things we needlessly hang to. It was about learning to take a risk and not be afraid. Something I can definitely learn to internalize. What are he things I'm afraid of doing because a fear of failure?  What am I anxious about?  Who or what do hold on to and should let go of? Big questions that can't be answered all at once but will be answered in time.  One thing that has be rattling around my brain is an question that I would like to answer. It was inspired by a couple of posts on my blog and I think it has real world application. What I need to do is flesh it out a little-see if there's any there there-i.e.if there is some substance or would be a a waste of time. It's a scary thought-starting down the serious academic research path again-but I think it's an itch that needs to be scrathed. No expectations, no grand ideas, just scratch the itch.
