trappings

Posted on August 14, 2017 | 20 Comments

Set down the baggage

You’ve been carrying around

For too long a time

No need to unpack

Nothing fits you anymore

You’ve outgrown this stuff

Let yourself feel free

Recognize your hands again

And high five yourself

    Cute. 🙂 I needed that smile.
    Hmmm….isn’t high-fiving ourselves the same as giving ourselves the clap? 🙂

    I love the sense of lightness in this, Annette. Casting off old ways of being that no longer fit us. 🙂
