In Silence Retreat Button
Last week, because of the 2 year anniversary of my Mom's passing, I didn't participate in Wishcasting Wednesday.

I had decided to be silent for the day, even wearing a button I made on a personal retreat when I went out.

In hindsight, it looks like I did honor the spirit of last week, just not formally saying 'I wish to choose silence to honor my Mom', but I wasn't thinking along those lines at the time.

So here we are at another Wishcasting Wednesday. with Jamie asking

What do you wish to enjoy?

Oddly enough, the first thing I thought about was a George Michael/Wham from the 80s...which of course I had to share with you here!

God I loved the 80s!

Who did not know George Michael was gay?

Anyhoo~

A few weeks before the anniversary, my daughter and I had started the process of decluttering and releasing things I'd held onto from Mom's house, a bittersweet process.

I surprisingly enjoyed the process.

As the donation truck carried the bags away, I had this feeling of lightness.  I hadn't realized I'd still been holding onto so much tension by holding on to so much of her stuff. 

So today, I wish to enjoy that lightness by continuing the process of letting go of Mom's things that hold no family history.

And I'm still wishing to enjoy a few days at the beach (scheduled for the beginning of September) so I double wish for Hurricane Irene to dissipate so I can go to Myrtle Beach!

As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also!
What a wonderful way to give a tribute to your mom. You are brave. I've been there and done that, and it's difficult to say the least.
Cheers to a few well-deserved relaxing days at the beach!
Nice blog!

Physical "stuff" can really weigh you down emotionally. And it must be difficult to sort through your mother's possessions. I am glad you have your daughter to help you.

As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.

Silence.
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well.
You can hear so much when you are silent, there's a beauty in quiet, so hard to find.

My mom is still with me, but as the executor of her estate, I know a day is coming (a LONG time from now, I hope!) when I'll have to deal with her belongings...I can only imagine what you've gone through to get to this place where you can now, lovingly and with ease, let some of the items go. May that continue for you, with grace.

As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well!

Ummmm, I have to hold my hands up and say I didn't know George Michael was gay, but then I thought that too about Jon Moss LOL.

So glad to hear of the lightness Dionne, may it long continue along with peace and love.

As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you too!
