No Comments OUT WITH THE OLD
Year after year we’ve perhaps made resolutions to do this or accomplish that, to throw off the old and put on the new. We are creatures of habit and speaking for myself, not one resolution has ever been accomplished. I realize many people do but I am among the vast majority and daily succumb to my habits. It is only of recent time that I’ve been able to initiate any change and it is by the removal of my secure surroundings.
October 2013 I sold my home, left the area where I spent forty years and set out in a motorhome for Arizona. A home with a motor allows you to uproot yourself and plop yourself down here and there and reflect on the whole of your life. My spouse has had to survive on the love I have for her and not the moorings of a frustrated existence. That separation from our past reality has made resolution to change possible. It’s important to relinquish control of what you thought you controlled and embark on a path less certain, less tied to a frustrated past.
Does this mean we don’t care for those left behind? Not at all; we’ve allowed them to be free from the tension of past experience and forge on their own a life that upon our demise, they must endure. Now when we visit it will be on each others terms. This may allow the short-comings of the past to have less influence on the future.
