Today is November 30th, the final day of my month of WISDOM. This seems like an opportune time to source and share ‘words of wisdom‘ on letting go and moving on. Retirement was not my first go around with dealing with this concept in my life, but it has been a challenging one. I am well into the moving on stage, but there are still times when I can use some wisdom and encouragement. If you are going through a similar situation right now, I hope that these quotes will help to brighten your day and make your current path a little easier.

“There are things we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But, keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life.” – Anonymous
“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” – Lyndon B. Johnson
“In the process of letting go you will lose many things from the past, but you will find yourself.” – Deepak Chopra
“You will never get what you truly deserve if you are too attached to the things you are supposed to let go of.” – Anonymous

That’s it for today folks! Wherever you were, wherever you are, wherever you are going, I hope that today you are happy and hopeful. ๐
That program seems familiar, can’t place it. The photo shows how flat the land is up there, right? Stay positive!

“The Littlelest Hobo” was my Dad’s very favourite television show EVER – that is the original black and white version that ran early to mid sixties. That photo was taken up north of here a few hundred miles. (on the way to my son Dan’s). You too, John. Tomorrow is December – almost tripping time for you!

Thanks! I’m still trying to decide if I want to take the Nikon with me since I use a carry-on bag only.

Thank you for the quotes, always something to ponder. Looking towards the future and not dwelling on the past is generally how I see things! Even though I love our wonderful memories, it’s also fun to make new ones. I can’t believe November is over and it’s almost December 1st!! CRAZY! ๐

Retirement is a time to let go and move on. I have been retired now nine years and while it took some time to get used to a new life style, I am loving every day of it. Thanks for the words of wisdom. We all can use that.
