Chatted with a new girl last night on the world wide web. She was getting ready to check out some schools for her preschoolers today and was very sad that she was going to have to "let them go" to school. Well, little does she know, that each and every day since the day they were born, is a day of "letting go". Seems like when they come out of that safe and secure place at birth, they are on the road to leave....leave the womb....leave the yard....leave for school....leave for their first date.....leave to get married.....leave the state in search of adventure....leave your house....forever. Yep....living this old life is just one big highway of going somewhere....and how else would you have it?! For them to stay home and be sheltered would make for a very retarded world! Of course, I think they had the right idea on the show "Dallas", where the whole family stayed together in one big honkin house on vast acreages of land....but alas....life is not a t.v. show. And so, given that fact, we must all let go constantly, of the things we think we could never let go of....our children, our house, our dogs, our friends and last, but not least, death is the final letting go.....
So my advice? Not that anyone is asking or even READING these posts, but ........to the world wide web I give it.......learn early how to let go gracefully.....then let me know how to do it would ya?
Speaking of letting go.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCAS!!!!!
