What a freeing concept Maria. Letting go. Why is it that we have such a hard time with this? We tend to want to grab on and cling and hold tightly, mostly to things we really do need to let go of.
Live oaks...beautiful.
Floating along on your homemade swing...now that is bliss. And reminds me of a simpler time in life...when letting go was so much easier.
Oh, this is perfect. And what a memory it brings me. A long time ago, I'd left my husband. Our children were very young. I stayed away almost a year. Got my own place, went forward with my life. Damn him. But slowly, we began talking together again. And it culminated in me returning to our home with the children. My husband's gift to me was a swing that he put in the big tree for me. A swing? Sit on it and swing, he told me. You won't believe how good it feels. And I did. And he was right. And every time I felt like I needed to get away, that swing was waiting for me. Maria, thanks for this memory. I needed that today, my friend.
I love swings. I found one in a public park recently and had the best time! It felt so free & fun & playful to just swing. I couldn't keep the smile off my face.

You've given me something to ponder today!
Letting go is a healthy thing to do...it frees the soul and enhances your spirit.
