Letting Go

Deb:

With the back door barricaded shut, we finished picking up the mess throughout the house. We’d go shopping for a new door next weekend, but I didn’t know of any store where we could purchase some fresh piece of mind. Even though the burglars had not taken anything of great value, they had invaded our home. Our lives had been violated. They had gone through our stuff and searched through the pieces of our history trying to rob us of our hard-earned dollars. I felt angry, livid, infuriated, incensed, furious, and pretty darn mad!

I allowed myself an evening of being outraged, and then I told myself I had to let go of the anger. What was done, was done. We needed to move on. So, move on we did.

...and move on ye shall. It's good that you're able to accept the feeling as being proper to your situation and release it so well.

Another adventure for Freckles awaits!!!

It happened to us twice ... such a creepy feeling. After the 2nd one I stayed up all night outside hiding in the dark with a baseball bat in case they came back!

It was a bit easier to move on after no sleep that night!

i can't imagine what that was like to go thru and agree that it's good you got it out and can let go and move on. not easy always but wise.

Sadly, the culprits were never captured (or at least not caught for our breakin -- hopefully they were caught for some other crime!)
