LIGD (let it go Diane)

I was out at a hockey game last night with a friend. Before the game we had dinner at the Keg and we spent some time talking. Actually, it was mostly me talking. This is a friend who is good for perspective because they understand me well and it's a friend I trust implicitly to not only tell me the truth, but to keep telling it to me until I catch on (sometimes it takes a while!). So, after me spending time complaining about stuff, 4 little words were spoken "let it go Diane". It became my phrase for the night.
After the game and I was driving home, I realized that the phrase "let it go Diane" is probably going to need to be in my vocabulary for quite some time yet. It's funny how things you thought were long gone and dealt with, can jump right back at you when you're stressed. Being stubborn doesn't help in this situation either. Something else I remembered while I was driving home was that my oldest friend in the world used to say something similar to me when I was younger... she would forever be telling me I was like "a dog with a bone - you've got to let it go". Hmmmmm - is there a pattern here? The ironic thing is that the things I was complaining about way back then and the things I was complaining about last night were the same things.
I guess that should tell me something...
