Lighten Your Load
...by letting go of some memories.
Some people are just gonna have to remind me of their names, and my wife’s just gonna have to find some patience when I forget movies we’ve seen. There’s simply too much for me to remember it all now, and I’m not really interested in keeping everything straight. There’s the important stuff, like the people I live with and all those memories which give my life context. Everything else is more than what’s absolutely necessary to make me a loving person and help me through this day. There’s so much dead weight sitting in my bag of memories. Why not lighten the load a little by letting go of the silly ones? The needed memories will remain as guiding spirits on the road ahead.
