"I'm Letting Go Of The Thoughts That Do Not Make Me Strong"

This weekend, I learned a few key lessons:

1) I love my family
----- The Jensen Family Reunion took place in Dillon, Colorado this past weekend and it was so much fun. This is my real dad's family and some of them I hadn't seen in years! My cousin, Mindy, for example, hadn't seen me since her wedding... in 1999! I got to meet so many small cousins and re-meet tons of other family. I loved it. And I did some massive shopping... it was the best. 

2) If you give your problems up to Heavenly Father, he will give you peace
----- I've been struggling with the acceptance of an inevitable event for a while, but I haven't been able to let it go. I haven't been able to accept the fact that he is getting married. And I don't know why I haven't been able to get over it. It was such a strange feeling that lasted too long. Thankfully, after massive amounts of prayers constantly and continuously, Heavenly Father granted me peace and serenity. I love him for helping me through my trials and giving me hope in the rough times.

3) Music is my favorite form of therapy 
----- Ok, this isn't a new lesson. Just something that is incredibly important in my life. I love music and the way that it speaks to me. I love that a certain song will come on the radio or on shuffle on my iPod at the EXACT right moment when I need it. I love (and hate) that I can remember events & memories far better if they are connected to a particular song. And I love how music helps me push through my trials.

I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've doneI let my past go past and now I'm having more funI'm letting go of the thoughts that do not make me strongAnd I believe this way can be the same for everyone...
