I have just returned from a wonderful vacation. I said "goodbye for now" to my friend's great family as we parted ways in our travels back home. I recently wished my good friend all the best in his new marriage. A major theme in a movie I watched with friends tonight was moving beyond the past and continuing forward progress. Today I received several reminders about letting go and moving forward. This thought is expressed really well in the musical Children of Eden: "The hardest part of love is letting go."
It is often very easy for me to spend time reliving good moments in my mind over and over and over. I would wish it would happen again. I would wish for those good, simple moments again. This isn't all bad, unless I make poor comparisons between the state of the past and the state of the present.
What I'm trying to say is, I am grateful for today's reminders to ease my grip on the good times of the past and look ahead to find that the best is yet to come.
