"Let It Go, Let It Go....."

Unless you live in a cave and haven't a clue about anything, the title of today's blog comes from the song lyrics of the wildly popular movie "Frozen".  I'm pretty sure that the constant repetition of that song, in households everywhere, has driven a lot of mothers close to the point of drinking!  (I kid.  What's sweeter than a child's slightly off-keyed attempt at belting out a song?)

Someone very dear to me suggested those words and sentiment as a blog topic and I'm pretty sure, it's because of my letting things fester.  I hang onto things waay too long.  I only need look at past postings to this blog to see what I need to "let it go" of.  Like,
*The fact that I will never be graceful (when's the last time there was a demand for a 62 year old ballerina anyway?)  
*The fact that I'm never going to be short...(at my weight, 5 foot 4 wouldn't be good...truly)
*The fact that I have a sleeping disorder (sleep's over-rated...yeah, keep repeating that and maybe it'll be true!)
*The fact that I lack focus (just a minute, I have laundry to fold...)
*The fact that I have three sons and will never have a "daughter" ( can you imagine a pregnancy at the age of 62? Yuck!  Plus having daughters-in-law is good enough.)
*The fact that I'm a size twelve and I'm not the biggest fan of the gym.  (I have, however, never had an eating disorder...at least not the anorexia/bulimia type... Maybe an occasional OVEReating one!)
*The fact that my purse is NEVER going to be organized....(it's my life's "office" away from home-everything I need and then some...)
*The fact that I, along, with everyone else, am getting older (and that's a GOOD thing that I hope to keep witnessing.)

On second thought, if I were to let go of all the things I hang onto, what could I possibly write about?  Those shortcomings, flaws and memories are who I am.  So to my way of thinking, the song is great, the message is wonderful.  But if I were writing a song for a movie, starring me, it would be more like "It is What It Is, "It is What It Is"...  

"The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway!" 

P.S.  And for those of you still living in a cave, those are the last words to that song from "Frozen".  And not true, in my case, either....
