Holding On

August 1, 2017

Last night, a friend posted on her Facebook page a link to an essay/article about how one person changed his life.

This reminded me of The Incredible Shrinking Critic, a book I read about a decade ago. 

In both the book and essay, after changed the writer experiences not just better health, but also revelations about what they own and where they live.  This connection between excess weight and clutter makes me think something more is happening than just food and calories, but rather a correlation about holding on, holding on to a need for excess food, holding on to material things, holding on to emotional baggage.

But around the corner of letting to is a grand life, one that contains better choices and ease.  The journey to get there might be long and arduous, but if one remains open, it can also be a great adventure.
