Life at the Lemonade Stand

Cracked Painted Board
April 2015

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.
Blue Glass Building, May 2015
Pealing Paint, May 2015


Everyone reaches a point in time when letting go is more important than hanging on. Who I should have been is replaced by who I am. Who I could have been and what I could have done is replaced by what am I doing and what can I do in this moment. What would I have done "If" is being replaced by what will I do or what am I willing to do. 

The shoulds continue to bite at my heals and at some point I have to stare that dog down and stop letting my past nip away at my present. 

Loosing my license has not been fun. but it has brought with it surprising gifts: More time with friends, more time in my garden. Lots less stress. I am experiencing saying "NO" instead of thinking I should say "YES" to every request that comes my way. 

I am feeling profoundly grateful.
