Letting go

We all have an idea of how things should be.

What life would be like if it were a little more perfect.

And there are ways we can move towards that. Changes we make.

Big ones. And, more often, small ones. Repeated over and over.

Then there are the things that won’t change.

The tricky gap between fantasy and reality.

Still, this isn’t about settling for less than we deserve. It’s about freeing ourselves from what we want things to be like, taking a breath, and looking at what we truly do have.

There are things we can, and should, change if we want to.

And there is the rest. Which we should let go, step back, and drink in.
