Letting Go When all instincts say to hang on tight there comes a point when letting go makes all the sense in the world. Robert if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |

Thanks Janet.....I hope the gift of few words was inherited from my grandpa. He said little but meant a lot. Sometimes a relationship is like water skiing....if you fall off your skis you have to let go of the rope or risk being pulled under and drowned. I let go and lived to write about it. Robert |

I was just told the other day...that same idea as others are replying, adding that why would I want someone who is unhappy to stay with me...no matter what or how he dissolved his feelings... truth sometimes finally wins over hurt ~Wynter * and of course I am hearing constantly..* you have to get on with your life..yet it always comes from those who never had to go through it....seems I am a bit whiney this morning Robert *s "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Just a thought, even though you let something go do you truly ever let it go in your mind? I know very philosophical. |
