The other day, I opened my cupboard and saw things in a new light. I had too much stuff. Most of it, I didn’t need.

I realised that this is the case with a lot of things in my life. To begin with, I have far too much weight I do not need.

I have many clothes I never wear.

I have books that lie for years un-read

But more than that, I have worries in my head that keep me tossing and turning in bed

Why did X stop talking to me?

Did I do something to annoy Y so?

Will my party be a success?

How will I tell Q what I really think?

I’m not the only one who worries so – we all have stuff that needs to go:

Petty jealousies, imagined slights, imputed gestures,

Old arguments, long lasting envy, bitter memories,

Isn’t it time we let things go? 

I’m linking this to #Friday Reflections
