We all have things that we are glad to see gone. Some things we hold on to that we need to let go.
Some of the things that one person will hold on to, another says good riddance.
Recently, a group in New York City organized 'Good Riddance Day'. Organizers encouraged people to bring things to put into a giant shredder and say 'good riddance' to. One woman brought a printed email from her ex-boyfriend breaking up with her. Others brought things representing stocks, or papers that read 'cancer'. A creative Yankee fan brought a Boston Red Sox poster (despite the fact that the Rays won the division, the Sox were the wild card winners this year). Top prize went to a man who brought a sock to represent all the widowed socks that lost their mates in the wash.
A clever idea.
What sorts of things are you saying good riddance to? What is easy to dismiss? What are we holding on to, that we really should let go?
