When I was contacted by my daughter,&nbsp; I experienced so many<br \/>\nfeelings and had a great deal to think and write about through the fall, winter,<br \/>\nand spring. The result was that I gained a greater acceptance of the<br \/>\nway that things are and a greater, if sadder, understanding of why they<br \/>\nare. <\/p>\n<p>\nI have been in the process of letting go for a long time. I am further<br \/>\non that road than I have ever been. I never would have seen this as<br \/>\ndesirable in 1995 even though early on I recognized the value<br \/>\nof accepting what can&#8217;t be changed. Intellectually I realized the value<br \/>\nof acceptance and letting go but that realization didn&#8217;t sink in at an emotional level<br \/>\nuntil recently.<\/p>\n<p>\nI have let go not only of people but of the need to write this<br \/>\njournal on a regular basis. I will leave you the links, the Daily<br \/>\nQuote, the past journal entries, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.estrangements.com\">Estrangement.com.<\/a> There is plenty<br \/>\nto read in the blog and on the website and plenty of links to take you elsewhere for more<br \/>\nreading. I don&#8217;t have anything new to say on the topic at this time.<\/p>\n<p>\nI hope that your visits here provide you with information that helps.<\/p>\n<p>\nWith love,<br \/>\nGinny<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have had less and less need to write about my own estrangements in this blog.
