… or die trying. (Don’t know if that’s an actual quote, or if I just made it up.)

Actually, looks like I’m the author that specific quotation.

 Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Knowledge is when you learn something new every day. Wisdom is when you let something go every day.” (at least that’s what Google search told me – kind of a “Jesus loves me, this I know, because the Bible tells me so” moment. Do I believe Google, or do I do further research to locate when and where he wrote or “said” the phrase, or do I I trust my source, and just let it go?

Letting things go, which I have a difficult time doing, is something I’ve had to learn, sometime as a new thing to learn, on a daily basis. One technique learned is to let go of an old book whenever a new book is brought into the house. Or so I claim. This has been difficult for a person who had at least 22 linear feet of of bookshelves, and only brought eight feet with him to Oklahoma.

And so it goes….
