This Year

This year I will let go.

I will let go of those that hurt me,
intentionally and wrecklessly,
in my present and in my past.

I will let go of memories that haunt me.
I will let go of the beliefs, and behaviors,
that have led me astray.

This year I will learn.

I will learn how to love with my broken heart.

I will learn how to trust in the truth,
not my version of it.

I will learn how to have faith,
in what I can not see.

I will learn how to listen to myself,
to my world,
to my heart.

I will learn how to be patient,
the memories will make themselves.

I will learn to count,
not numbers
but blessings.

I will learn to value my relationship
with myself,
with others,
with God. 

This year will be full of surprises,
full of enlightenment,
full of life,
and love,
and laughter.

This year will be the year I move forward,
without looking back.

I will be strong,
I will be courageous,
I will be alive.

I will be me.
Without excuse,
without regret,
and without hesitation.
