THOUGHTFUL TUESDAY

Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?

-Today Lesley at Time out for Mom has asked if we need to let go of something. I think I have already done that. I have let go of the cooking and the cleaning and gave it to my husband. I am left with the laundry and the baking.

For me the hardest thing to let go of is driving the car. Initially I started to drive because I get car sick. I had my license before my husband as well as I had the car so naturally I did the driving. I also can not read a map and since hubby is good at it, he can navigate. I have to be tired or sick to give up my seat in the car.

Driving also represents independence. I don’t have to rely on the transit system and wait around for hours. I also don’t have to bother other people to pick me up. My greatest fear is that I will lose my license especially as I get older.

Do you have a fear or something you have to let go of?

I'm with you. I cannot imagine not being able to drive. Over the years I've driven all over and managed to go wherever I want. Driving is definitely something that I take for granted.

I didn't get my drivers license until I was 26, and know what it's like to be dependent upon someone else to get around. I won't give it up without a fight. :-)

Just here from Time Out! I would definitely miss driving as well, so I understand it being hard for you to let go.

I would love to let go of the housework and cooking! Lucky you! I also do all the driving, and will continue to as long as I am able. My husband is 14 years older than me. He is happy for the younger of us to do the driving.

I hate to drive. I do it because it is required to get to work, school and errands. I think I would be okay not having that on my shoulders. Cooking, I gotcha covered.

Oh, driving is a biggie around here! Being very rural, everything is far away - no biking or walking to get groceries or things you need. But I love living in the boonies! LOL
