Letting Loose

Sometimes I wonder if we are too molded in our lives to really appreciate how much we have been given on the day we were born. Our lives are so full of what is demanded of us. We are afraid to break the mold. I think back to that musical of the 1960s, Hair. Where the young people bounded through Central Park, happy. carefree, open. Is it time to take off your shoes and run barefoot through the grass? Are we too strait-laced to do that? Try taking off your shoes and walking barefoot through your well-carpeted floors first. Practice being humble. That’s the first step outside of our practiced lives, our first step to being grateful – for the lives that we’ve been given.
