So Long, Shoulds ....

It began with my birthday. That one day of the year, I reasoned, would, at last, be spent doing what I most wanted to do and not be spent doing what I expressly did not want to do.

And so that was the day that I began to shed some of the most engrained "shoulds" that have dictated most of my life.

I have more to release but even in just these two-plus weeks, I feel a difference, a lightness.

"Shoulds" are insanely weighty.
