The Desktop of Life

If you are a PC user - you will totally be able to relate to this - if you are a MAC user - I have no idea if you'll get it or not.....

Mom and I were takling tonight about getting rid of things - releasing things from our past. Mom had kept my first gray hair, my pay stubs from every job I've had when I was younger, and on and on. She finally released it - to the trash and the shredder! Friends just sold their fishing boat - they had if for quite a few years and had lots of memories on it. Mom commented that a chapter in their life was closing - how sad.

I got to thinking - it's not always a sad thing when a chapter closes. Closes one chapter gives us the ability to open another! It's like windows on your desktop - you can only have so many open windows at one time. It seems as if you can have as many as you want... but the reality is - if you have too many open it overloads the system and it crashes! It's best to only have a few open at one time.

Same with life - if you never release your past - you can't move forward. And sometimes - having too many things open in your life at once can make you crash as well!

I'm not saying to DELETE your past - but file it away. Close the chapter, file it on the hard drive, and move on to the next great adventure in life! Blessings to you!
