Always have something to look forward to

I've become hooked on the Netflix series - Comedians, In Cars, Getting Coffee.  Jerry Seinfeld (remember him?) is the host and started the show because he wanted to do a talkshow that was different.  So he came up with just what the title says, comedians (Jerry invites comedians he admires and likes) who are in cars (classic cars) and they get coffee (which is like oxygen to me).  So you can see how I was sold on this series. Julia Louis-Dreyfus was  Jerry's guest on an episode (remember her?).  As they were talking about life in general, she said that her grandmother told her something she would never forget and she still keeps this in mind every day - Always have something to look forward to.

The New Year is giving me permission to let things go that are no longer serving me.   For instance, I had a stack of notecards of affirmations from a mindset program I went through last year.   They served their purpose, yet they were still sitting on my desk.  I let them go. Replaying bad memories.  2017 was just one big %*&# show.  The bad memories of 2017 were definitely not serving me.  So I let them go. Belts!  I had three belts hanging in my closet that I have not worn for years.  They were definitely not serving me.  I let them go. After I let these items and feelings go, I felt free - like I was unblocked and able to move forward. Grab YOUR Lifeline to Freedom here! What is no longer serving you?   Is it time?  Do you feel like you haven't even a moment to breathe?  Is it freedom?  Are you able to live your life your way? Do you want to be able to enjoy quality time and not feel rushed?  Do you want to be able to have friends and family over and not h
