Next week, strangers with a truck will take away
everything we own, except the clothes on our backs,
the car we will
drive, and as much stuff as we can pack into it.
It's called 1.
Some people do it
often. For others, like me, it's a 2experience. In all my adult years,
I've moved only
three times.
My first 3 and I moved into our first house with a bed,
our clothes and a
few gifts. That was many years ago. Over the years, I 4 that house with three children,
a few dogs and
enough stuff to 5 the ceiling.
Then the kids grew up, I lost my husband to cancer,
and I began to
learn about 6.
First, I let go of the 7 of being in contro1. Life isn't about being in charge of
what 8,
it's about being in
charge of what we do with it.
Next,
I let go of 9 the things I care most about,
like keeping in
touch with the people that 10 the most to me.
I let go of the people whose 11 are about anger or hatred,
and tried instead
to 12 myself with those who shine with 13.
Finally, I let go of being alone—I remarried.
I 14 moved to a new city with my new husband,
and after that move,
I15 I'd stop collecting meaningless things.
But 12 years later,
here I am,
still learning
about letting go.
We'll all move someday from this 16 to the next, but we won't need a truck to do it.
We'll take 17 with us and leave behind a(n) 18 of the life we lived, the mistakes we 19 ,
and all the love
and kindness we tried to show.
That memory might not be a treasure, but if we're20 ,
someone will keep
it and hold it close and never let it go.
