A list of goodbyes

As part of our training for Korea, we talked alot about transitions and the grief process. One of our counselors suggested we make a list of the things we are losing or saying goodbye to. And you know how I love a good list....Some of these are silly and this really more of a brain dump post for me to look back on and use as a journaling space, but maybe some of you can relate. Maybe some of you who have moved and are having trouble letting go of some things back 'home' and need to make one of these too! Here we go, in no order of significance or pertinence to life. Most of these are things and I am ok with that. I need to have closure with them and move on and to look forward to the new things ahead.
