Things I have learned this past year 2000

I Will Let Go

I WILL LET GO:  love more and fear less.
I WILL LET GO:  not try to change things but to change myself.
I WILL LET GO:  and not stay away from others, knowing I                                  
          can’t control anything.
I WILL LET GO:  and admit I am powerless without God’s help.
I WILL LET GO:  but give the best care and help I can.
I WILL LET GO:  and not deny, but to accept the situation I’m in.
I WILL LET GO:  things I can not fix but be there for others
I WILL LET GO:  and adjust to my life and cherish each day
I WILL LET GO:  of regrets in the past and think about the future.
I WILL LET GO:  and try not to be so protective, and allow others to
         face reality also.          
I WILL LET GO:  and not deny… but to accept the things I can’t 
          change laugh more cry less.
I WILL LET GO:  to care and about others, to let go and to
       follow the dream that God has placed before me.
I WILL LET GO: and be the person God wants me to be.
I WILL LET GO: this coming year and be a survivor, I will
fight against this disease “Alzheimer’s” that has     
robbed  me and many others of so many  important  things in our lives, keeping us in fear.....and afraid to face what is ahead.
I WILL LET GO: and let God take over....this is what I pray for my
        life and others.
