Blinking Lights

A few minutes before 12midnight, I was standing on the footbridge of Nagtahan.  I enjoyed watching the changing neon lights on the sides of the bridge. 

No matter how the lights are serving its true purpose, still, it cannot make the night vividly clear.  Nights are dark and mornings are bright.  The blinking lights cannot make the night completely bright.  You will have to wait for the sunrise so you will no longer see the darkest side.

That's the same thing about holding on and letting go.  You wrestle about the small happiness that holding on brings into your life and overlooked the possibilities that letting go can make your life a lot brighter and happier and relieved.

I may be sad for a moment if I chose to let go.  But that won't take me too long.  I will be happy soon with the decisions I made. 

Here are some quotes that had made me realize the true value of letting go. 

Bon Voyage Ren!   May your life be complete and happy with the choices you and I have made in our lives.  You will always be loved. I'll be missing the chocolate chip cookies… Everything will be fine in God's perfect time….
