Three-hundred-sixty-five days ago, I found myself pondering this little poem by E.E. Cummings…
And it took me longer than I wanted to understand the words — to unclench my white-knuckled fists — but I’ll tell you:
In 2015, my empty hands were filled.
Oh, friends… today, I’m wishing you the courage to let go and make room. ❤

I’m so glad this connected, Steve!! It’s become my philosophy of current months, and as I learned to trust it, I’ve been rewarded by more grace and goodness than I could have imagined … I truly mean that.
Happy New Year to you, your beautiful lady and the littles! (Pup included)

I truly feel like I’ve received so much more than I lost, in all that letting go… My life is overflowing with goodness, and I’m wide enough to be grateful.

It is an interesting concept that which you have willed on yourself. Not many are able to let go of things. Good work.
