let it go

Sometimes I make a bad decision 

    And it bothers me for a long time.

    I should just let it go, but I don't.

    Today, for example.  

    Jackie had a doctor appointment in Sycamore.  After that we had some errands to run.

    On the way home, about 3:15 or so, she asked me to get her a hamburger and Shamrock Shake.

    Pretty simple request.

    I thought a hamburger sounded good, so I went in and ordered 2 Happy Meals.  

    All we needed was 2 burgers and a small fry along with the shake.

    But we also got 2 small drinks, apple slices and a toy.

    I realized I did the wrong thing but instead of shrugging my shoulders I cursed myself all the way home.

    Why couldn't I just let it go?  

    I do that a lot.  Things I buy, or say, or do and then curse myself for whatever it was I did.

    Heck, I am still yelling at me for things I did 60 years ago!

    I can't remember the tv show where one character said to another something like picture the problem as your pen.  All you have to do is let it go.

    My thought is always a boomerang.  I let it go and it comes right back and smacks me in the head!

    Speaking of that, I have a boomerang I have never tried.  My goal this year is to go out into my field, toss the boomerang, and watch it come back.

    Like what I do with my bad decisions.  

    One of which is drinking coffee at 3 p.m. today  and expecting to sleep at 11.

    Excuse me, I have to go yell at myself.

Peace and Love
