Just Let It Go And Move On

---

This husband and I…

Went for coffee…over the river and through the woods…to Buc-ee’s…him…heading straight for the coffee bar…her…zigging here…zagging there…stopping first…for a delectable Beaver aka Paddle Tail…that date of mine…already adding cream to his brew…when our eyes met across…the crowded room…

Anticipation rising…styrofoam cup filled…lid pressed on top…tipped it back…to take a sip…got nothing…nada…no hot Java on the lips…tried again…tip..no sip…tip…no sip…nothing coming out of the spout…

Took a closer look…the hole in the lid…had not punched through…used a fingernail…tried to pop it out…took a stirrer stick…tried to poke it out…that’s when that date of mine…took a drink of his…and spoke wise words…words his wife…needed to hear…it’s not going to work…just let it go…

And so it is…in life…some things…are not going to work…no matter…how much effort…how much time…how much love…you put in…and when that happens…it’s ok…just to let it go…and move on…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
