Assignment #70 Say goodbye.
Sometimes it’s hard to say goodbye. It just feels easier to keep holding on. But in the long run it’s usually a good idea to let go, it’s the daring thing to do. It allows room for new things, for transformation. And maybe the goodbye isn’t even forever, but you can’t know until you really say goodbye and mean it. In some cases, goodbye is really the end, and good riddance! For this assignment, say goodbye to all the things you need to let go of: bad habits, dead people, alive people, ex-boyfriends and girlfriends, self-destructive feelings and behaviors, jobs, projects, re-occuring thoughts, etc.
Write it as a simple list:
Goodbye Bill.
Goodbye wetting the bed.
Good bye interrupting people when they are talking.
etc.
It can be as long or as short as you like. And, most importantly, take a moment with each one to really say goodbye. This isn’t a catalogue of your fears and faults, this is a ceremony to bid them farewell.

With any luck I will be able to cross one or two things off the list by next week!
I know. I’m such a nerd, but I’m really excited to get started on the list. Imagine if I finish every task? How amazing would that be? WILL BE!
I’m currently trying to complete a mini list of things I want to get done before the end of May. This includes finishing my red scarf (i’ve got about ten centimetres to go and I’ve been quite lazy in the past few weeks) reading three books lent to me by Fi and Erin, and a couple of other domestic type things. I’ve only completed one out of 13 so far!
The tasks I plan to start first;
