It all began with a gift card
I had a Barnes & Noble gift card forever in my purse. There were some books I wanted to purchase; Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adult Asperger Syndrome (Guides to Indivdualized Evidence Based Treatment Series) and Living Well on the Spectrum: How to Use Your Strengths to Meet the Challenges of Asperger Syndrome/High-Functioning Autism, to help me gain some additional perspective for working young adult students in a work readiness program I manage, but the Amazon.com user experience far surpasses B&N so I decided to use the gift card in the store near my office.
It was serendipitous
Today's December 30. Try as I might to hold on to 2014 because I now suddenly need to hire someone and conjure up some other very important time sensitive magic, all for the second week of the New Year - the universe just isn't interested in my whims, only in its own.
I walked around the smallish B&N college bookstore in downtown Wilkes-Barre with an open mind. Would it be a book, stationery, weird sticky notes, or a book light? No.... It was to be something that would ease my need to hold on, by helping to let go. It was to be a Buddha Board
Freud was in my head
The Law of Attraction people might say that what I needed from the universe appeared. I say my subconscious drove me to the game rack because I was looking for a little sumthin sumthin to add to my collection of work tools. Anyway, there it was...
And now I can let the year, people, feelings, thoughts and anything else I can symbolically depict with the rudimentary drawing skills I possess... go. Anytime I want.
Good or bad, how do you let go when it's over?
