The Cleanse

I was talking to a friend tonight, about how some people had said something to another group of people, and had hurt their feelings.  As I discussed this, I realized that the "victims" were actually the ones harboring the anger.  I realized that I really need to get better about letting things go.  The problem is, this situation really doesn't involve me, but because both sides talked to me, I can't let it go.  They have probably forgotten the conversation, and I am the one who is letting it bug me, and am worrying about it.  And why?
Sometimes I feel like I just need a good cleansing.  I have two times of the year where I go through this process.  Usually on my birthday (because that's when I make my resolutions for the new year) and for New Years, along with everyone else.  I'm starting a health cleanse on Monday, and I almost feel like I need a spiritual/emotional cleanse to go along with it.  Get rid of the toxins in my life.  Say my apologies, and focus on the relationships that are encouraging, rather than discouraging.
I cleansed myself of one mental toxin yesterday, and I feel much better about it.  The thing is, is that if the friendship is not healthy, it is not good for either person.  So, why try to force something that is not there?  I'm not sure if I need to take action or not.  Honestly, I think I am probably over reacting, but it is always good to sit back, type out my thoughts, and think about the good and bad of situations.  And tonight, I realized that I just need to let stuff go.  And I need to focus on that fresh start.
Tomorrow is a brand new day!
But, boy am I excited for Monday!
