I was tense
holding my breath
stiff
anxious
worried
thinking
considering
contemplating
weighing the reasons and results
and deciding
making the decision
concluding
taking a deep breath
relaxing shoulders
breathing
breathing in through nose
breathing out and relaxing chest
letting go
and smiling
smiling
being grateful
moving on
realizing it’s not good
it’s not needed
control is not needed
grasping is not needed
grasping for straws
clutching
none of that is needed
it was never needed
embracing gratitude
having enough
being enough
accepting
trusting
learning
growing
bettering
…naturally
free!
