Everyone has probably experienced those different sets of nagging regrets and grudges that tug at their souls for weeks, months or even years. It doesn’t even matter how much time has passed after the people, jobs or situations which once made them important ceased to be part of their life. It can still be so very hard to let go of these things.
Sure, there may have been a time in life when it felt important to take every opportunity to demonstrate to that ex, former workmate or classmate how well things were going without them. But isn’t it finally time to move on and let go of all of those negative emotions that tend to drag everything down?
That is exactly what National Let It Go Day is all about! A national day when people all over the world can be intentional about taking the brave step to cast away all those hang-ups from a previous chapter in life and start fresh.
It’s time to celebrate National Let It Go Day!
History of National Let It Go Day
Regrets are not particularly useful to anyone. They tend to weigh on people’s consciences and leave them with a deficit of joy, often at a time when those who have been wronged have long since forgotten them. Even if the other person hasn’t offered forgiveness, it is an important step toward healing for people to learn to forgive themselves. This helps with the process of moving forward without guilt or bitterness and allows people to endeavor to live a better life in the future.
National Let It Go Day is one of a bevy of holidays created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays & Herbs. They knew the difficulty of living with a pocketful of regrets that can haunt a person during every quiet hour, and knew that letting them go was the only way to find peace and contentment in their own lives.
So it was for this reason that National Let It Go Day was created, with the intention of encouraging others throughout the world to also let go of their regrets and forgive themselves for actions taken in the past.

JOKE OF THE DAY thanks, Winnie

WORD OF THE DAY
critical mass
MEANING:noun: The minimum amount or number of something required to initiate or sustain a process or effect.
ETYMOLOGY:From nuclear physics where critical mass is the smallest amount of nuclear material needed for a chain reaction. Earliest documented use: 1941.
NOTES:Outside of physics, the critical mass of something can be seen as the tipping point, a stage of adoption where it begins to be useful or effective. For instance, critical mass can refer to the point at which a new word (like asporteist), technology (like fax machines), software (like WhatsApp), or social network (like Facebook) become widespread.
USAGE:“But as a critical mass of mustache wearers has gathered, the style has slowly become free of the subculture associations it garnered in the 1980s.”

Gwendolen Mary John (22 June 1876 – 18 September 1939) 
was a Welsh artist who worked in France for most of her career. Her paintings, mainly portraits of anonymous female sitters, are rendered in a range of closely related tones. Although she was overshadowed during her lifetime by her brother Augustus John and her lover Auguste Rodin, her reputation has grown steadily since her death.
when you just HAVE to knit, you find a way....
IDIOM OF THE DAYWhat does 'by a hair's breadth' mean?
Meaning: If a person escapes from some danger by a hair's breadth, they only just managed to avoid it. The breadth is the thickness of a hair, so they probably feel somewhat lucky because the margin between success and what could easily have been failure was so close.
so wishing that the log could share her travel story

PICTURES OF THE DAY
Bandits' Roost, 59 1/2 Mulberry Street is a black-and-white
photograph produced by the Danish-American photographer
and social reformer Jacob Riis in 1888. It is not known whether
the photograph was taken by Riis himself, or by one of his
assistant photographers, Henry G. Piffard and Richard Hoe
Lawrence. It was first published in the photographic book How
the Other Half Lives in 1889, which aimed to document the social
conditions of the poorest people of New York City. The photograph
was taken in The Bend, a dangerous and poor alley in Mulberry
Street, New York City, which had a predominantly Italian population
at the time, and was known for its high crime rates. Riis's social
activism in pursuit of better life conditions for the poorest classes
of New York, of which the book where this picture was published
was one of the best examples, was one of the factors that led to
the demolition of Mulberry End, which was later replaced by a
park.
