Today is a world holiday. Get over it day us annually March 9th. Did you know about this special holiday?
I think it is an excellent idea. Usually when you are festering over something there is another person in the world that hasn't given it a second thought.
Dwelling on issues isn't healthy and only hurts you. Sometimes your dwelling hurts those around you but doesn't hurt the person it is supposed to hurt.
Somethings are easier to get over than others. This day isn't about being in the midst of your trying time. It is about past hurts.
I hope you take the pledge today to move forward.
Ecclesiastes 11:10
Banish emotional stress from your mind. and put away pain from your body; for youth and the prime of life are fleeting.

Cool! Thanks for letting us know! I've never heard of this -- but, it's a great idea!! ;-)
wow.. if only it was that easy to just pick and day and then all the past hurts would be gone... I do not think it really works that way though
Yes it isn't easy. The fact is fixating on the menial things in life makes you unhealthy. Yes, if you are divorcing, abused, or other big ticket items this doesn't work. It is silly to get worked up for someone looking at you cross eyed.
It makes life so much better if you live in the moment and move forward.
I agree with Rebecca, this day is for letting go of the petty hurts and discontents, the ones that sometimes keep us awake and fretting at 3 a.m., like the time I....well, never mind, I'm letting it go & getting over it!
hm. I can't think of anything that I've not already let go. At least not anything that is harming me or another. I'll always hate my father. Can't really change that. Its just a fact and doesn't hurt anybody. He's dead so can't hurt him anymore either.
I soooooo need a "Get Over It" Day!!! Great find =)
=)
ITS NOT AS EASY AS IT SEEMS WHEN SOMEONE HURT YOU IN A WAY YOU CAN NEVER FORGIVE THEM FOR AND YOU CANT EVEN TELL THEM BECAUSE THEY DONT CARE IF THEY DID IT WOULD BE SOLVED AND YOU WOULD NOT HAVE THE STRESS OF IT BEING ON YOUR CHEST.IT BUILDS AND BUILDS UNTIL YOU EXPLODE.
This is meant to be a lighthearted day, Candy. Forgiveness is a choice you make, not a thing you can or cannot do. You can always be the bigger person and write an email or something.
