A friend sent this to me recently. I likes it. Maybe it will help someone here...<P>Letting Go<BR>To let go does not mean to stop caring, it means I can’t do it for someone else.<BR>To let go is not to cut myself off, it’s the realization I can’t control another.<BR>To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.<BR>To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.<BR>To let go is not to try to change or blame another, it’s to make the most of myself.<BR>To let go is not to care for, but to care about.<BR>To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.<BR>To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.<BR>To let go is not to be protective, it’s to permit another to face reality.<BR>To let go is not to be in the middle of arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their destinies.<BR>To let go is not to deny, but to accept.<BR>To let go is not to nag, scold or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.<BR>To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.<BR>To let go is not to criticize and regulate anybody, but to try to become what I dream I can be.<BR>To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.<BR>To let go is to fear less, and love more.....<BR> ~Author Unknown~<BR>

That's great MyOwnMe:<P>I'm going to print this out...cause this is just where I and so many others here are right now...trying to let go and let God handle things. This expresses the objectives of letting go so well....now if I can just implement them better, huh.<P>Faye
