As we age, we find ourselves over and over in having to let go. And each that we do, we land safely and mostly for the better. Yet it is still a great challenge, sheer act of fortitude guided by grace that allows us to again let go.

Whoa, I better stop here - it's waaaaaay too early in the morning for me to get so deep. :-)
