Just Say 'Okay.'

These last couple of days have been a bit softer around the edges and you'd be surprised at the very real miracles that have occured since letting go a bit.

Last night was Thursday with Jenny Sue. Late in the visit we sat crying over our favorite movie scenes and sharing a hot fudge sundea. Jen shared her favorite moment of the movie Eternal Sunsine of the Spotless Mind. At the end, the two characters discover that they have a history, and are faced with their own continuing limitations. It seems impossible--how could it work between them? She lists all the things that they both do: She gets bored in relationships, he blames. His answer to her and to the problems she poses: "Okay." Okay to the limits, the apparent impossabilities. Okay to all of it, despite the stumbling blocks. Okay, anyway. There is never a perfect answer, but we say okay anyway, because the crap doesn't go away, but we have choices. So say okay, inspite of everything you see in your way. Say okay, because you simply want to.

Have a great long weekend.
