Without some degree of certainty I think we start to freak out a little bit when our life doesn't even feel like ours anymore. It gets to a point where we feel like we're on a runaway roller coaster, but like you said, sometimes its better to let go control and just enjoy the ride...but just make sure your seatbelt is on. thanks for comment. Always a pleasure. I think all of us need some sort of control in our lives.

you struck something with me on this one: “living in a constant state of management”. i also find that i’m in a constant state of control seeking and living up to the ‘shoulds’ in life. i should be working, i should be exercising, i should be eating vegetables and not this mound of to-die-for chocolate cheesecake (mmmm). i guess that’s why i often find myself snapping out of silly daydreams, or thinking how ridiculous i am to be planning something so unattainable. this is where my key to life of letting go fits in … b/c when i do, i enter that ‘nothing matters’ world and just enjoy it. it’s like the bittersweet experience after a movie ends. my first reaction is to smile and think “that was so great” and then i correct myself with “but that can’t happen in real life”. i am the petulant child in my adult body being scolding for being so dreamy, romantic and unrealistic. but really, in retropsect, it is nice to sit there for 2 hours believing that love can conquer all, that all evil can be defeated and that in the end, everyone gets their happy ending.
