My Heart's Desire

Abby has a special blanket that she absolutely loves. She wants to take it everywhere and carries it around the house. She holds it to sleep, she holds it to wake up, she holds it near her when she eats, she holds it to sit in the car. She takes that blanket everywhere! Recently, she has started holding onto it as you lay her in her bed then standing up as fast as she can to throw it out of her bed before you make it to the door and turn the light off. Then she screams until you come back and give it back to her. Once you give it back, she curls up with her blanket and settles down to sleep.

This got me thinking about what I am clinging to and what I am doing to let go of those things. Do I hold on to it until I need it to do everything? Do I let it go to play games with others? Or myself?
