It is truly amazing how the mind works in regard to attachments. In my last blog about my CD collection, I clearly came to the decision that I was finally going to let go. When I left off, I was going to dispose of them, but then I got cold feet at the last minute. Several weeks went by and I decided to reach out to one more person to see if they wanted the collection. Low and behold, they wanted everything! Granted, this does not happen often so I was just thrilled. Since they live in New York, I will need to ship them from California, but for me it is a small price to pay for this typeof closure.
As I was packing everything up I got very emotional. Not ina bad way but in a healing way. I felt like a weight was finally being lifted off of me. And not just because the box I was shipping weighed close to 60pounds! All kidding aside, it was the fact that I was not going to have to worry about it any longer; I was no longer responsible for them. I won’t have to look at them day after day and feel the range of emotions associated with them. Most importantly, I am able to bring closure to something that occupied emotional space for so many years. And the best part is that someone else will now enjoy the music the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Harris is definitely smiling at this one!
