Let it go.

Here is an email I got today ...

What should you let go of?

If I Were Lucky
By Avis Drucker

If I were lucky in this lifetime,

I would learn the art of letting go.
I would start with the bathroom scale,

that little square joy buster.
Gone!

Next would be my watch,

keeper of rigid rituals and joyless appointments.

Gone!

Perfection, next big hit.

Let the housework pile up and invite lots of friends over.

Just put the vacuum cleaner in the middle of the living room

and leave it there for six months.

Next, get rid of that worry dance I do.

The health of my husband,

the safety of my children,

not enough money,

what people think,

being alone,

not being alone,

terrorists, tax collectors,

termites . . .

get a grip!

Let it go.

I would travel the world

and take lots of black and white photos

of all the wonderful faces.

I would sit on the beach with my friends

nd eat junky hot dogs.
I would take long walks with my husband

through the village to the lighthouse.
Sometimes I would sit quietly on my porch

and listen to the birds for hours.

Sometimes I would put on jazz or opera and turn it up really loud.

I would surround myself with people

who love nature, laughter and dessert.
I would spend my time living large and doing nothing.

I would sit back and enjoy the journey.

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.- George Bernard Shaw, playwright

I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.
For in him you have been enriched in every way -

in all your speaking and in all your knowledge. 1 Corinthians 1:4-5
