Traditions are something that have always held substantial value to me as they are part of me, and shared from history in hopes maybe they can be held in the future too
However what happens when you cannot control those traditions anymore? Due to loss, or changed circumstances, I have found this year most have been unobtainable, so how do you allow yourself to release the old and create new
Something I am navigating as I have accepted the path this year has taken me on has been out of my control and the loss of traditions and what has always been are now mostly gone
Yet though the grief of special memories cherished is hard, I hold gratitude and also acceptance that not everything remains forever and maybe new ones can lead to new moments of joy and even open new doors
To fresh starts, and new found purpose, and maybe there we can create new opportunities to hold space for a new depth of valued memories and even better possibilities
To intertwine what we have held before into a new level of pursuit of moments that might even come with greater ease, regardless of the altered experience, I think my foundations of belief are undeniable as they remain a part of me
So I release the old traditions, knowing they served their time and place, they were thoroughly enjoyed and I now open myself to what the present and future chooses to create and hold
Accepting that everything can have a time and not always last forever, so I grieve for a moment and start to anticipate the new, knowing I can find new ways to enjoy occasions and let go of the need to have to always be in control
