Letting Go
Letting Go
"Starting today, I need to let go of what's gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming next"
"Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on" - Eckhart Tollie
"Doing nothing is somethings one of the highest of duties of man" - G.K. Chesterton
Theme: Letting Go
This isn't a self portrait, but wanted to share it with my other fine art work. Over the last month my kids have had to let go of just about everything they had in their lives. When I heard of this theme I wanted to highlight the things they have had to let go over this last month. It is a very unique time in their lives as we are usually very active people with activities every night of the week. Now it has been a month since they have had an activity and have no idea when and if things will resume.
This is what March and April look like. Their activities are just ghosts and memories.

What the photos represent from left to right:
*Brett was suppose to be in a local parade playing his trumpet on April 4th.
*The boys were 1 week into the flag football season. They only played on March 8th. The rest of the season was cancelled.
*All scout activities were cancelled. Alex was going to go to his first merit badge class and over night activity on March 21st.
*Baseball. Both boys made select teams this year. Games and tournaments have been cancelled.
* School is cancelled for the rest of their 5th and 7th grade years. That means Alex is done with elementary school and does not get a Jr high fun day or send off.
*Alex was going to have a project at the Puyallup Spring Fair on April 18th. He would get to stand with his project and answer questions from those visiting the fair.
