Lump In The Snow

How early in our lives do we fuss over getting what we cannot have? I'm here to testify it begins even before the toddler years. What would happen if early on in our lives we learned to accept what we can have and do instead of thinking we are owed everything? Perhaps then, rather than being crippled by conflict, hurt, and anger, we'd recognize enjoying little things brings happiness. Perhaps we'd become grateful for elements of our lives in particular be thankful for those who love and spend time with us. Perhaps then loving and letting go would come more quickly and respecting other's needs would become second nature. Ladybug Landing is a heart-touching example of loving and letting go. In the end, the child is grateful for time with her special friend rather than clouding the goodbye with hurt feelings she lets her go content with the time they shared.
