Sometimes It’s Best To Let Go and Begin Again

“Things happen in our lives that we find hard to accept.  Thoughts come back to trouble us time and time again.  When something happens in our lives that we find difficult to accept, we must decide if there is anything we can do to change things.  If there is, then we must do what we can to make things right again.  But, if we have done all we can, and we know in our hearts that there is nothing more we can do about it now, then we should let go of whatever is troubling us.

After going over all the ‘what ifs’ and ‘whys,’ we may learn a valuable lesson.  And, we may find that even though it was painful, we grow through the experience.  Just learning to let things go rather than worrying about what might have been might eventually be worth even more than whatever it is we had to let go of.” ~ W. R. Kaiser

You’ve always lived your life through your heart.  You’ve always lived your life by finding the silver lining in even the most severe storms.  Although you don’t recall what particular storm you were going through when you wrote this, I am most grateful you took the time to do so.  Your words and your wisdom will help carry me through.  I love you, Dad.
