Letting Go...

In the advent of the new year, I found this inspirational article in my inbox close enough to my farewell 2005 speech (if I had one)...

"To let go doesn't mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for someone else

To let go is not to cut myself off, it's the realization that I can't control another

To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences

To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands

To let go is not to try to change or blame another, I can only change myself

To let go is not to care for, but to care about

To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive

To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being

To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcome,

but to allow others to effect their own outcomes

To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality

To let go is not to deny, but to accept

To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue

but to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them

To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,

but to take each day as it comes, and tocherish the moment

To let go is not to criticize or regulate anyone,

but to try to become whatever dream I can be

To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future"

Nope we haven't broken up. It's just me letting go of me...
