                                   Letting Go

                
            To "let go" does not mean to stop caring, it means I
            can't do it for someone else.
    
            To "let go" is not to cut myself off, it's the
            realization I can't control another.
            
            To "let go" is is not to enable, but to allow learning
            from natural consequences.
    
            To "let go" is to admit powerlessness, which means the
            outcome is not in my hands.
    
            To "let go" is not to try to change or blame another,
            it's to make the most of myself.
    
            To "let go" is not to care for, but to care about.
    
            To "let go" is not to fix, but to be supportive.
    
            To "let go" is not to judge, but to allow another to be
            a Human being.
    
            To "let go" is not to be in the middle arranging all
            the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their
            destinies.
    
            To "let go" is not to be protective, it's to permit
            another to face reality.
    
            To "let go" is not to deny, but to accept.
    
            To "let go" is not to nag, scold or argue, but to
            search out my own shortcomings and to correct them.
    
            To "let go" is not to adjust everything to my desires
            but to take each day as it comes, and cherish myself in
            it.
    
            To "let go" is not to regret the past, but to grow and
            live for the future.
    
            To "let go" is to fear less and love more.

    ...now how do I print it off? 
    

    re: .1
    
    If you like, you can use FORWARD to mail it to yourself, then either
    use PRINT directly from MAIL or EXTRACT/NOHEADER filename.ext, then PRINT
    the file as you would any other regular file.
    
    Another option is, directly from notes use EXTRACT/NOHEADER filename.ext
    and the entire text will be saved in your directory then PRINT it (this is
    faster than going through MAIL, but if you'd like to FORWARD it to someone
    else, you may want to mail it to yourself and keep it in a MAIL Folder).
    
    Hope this helps,

	 or at the NOTES prompt, just type PRINT/QUE=<queue_name>

	 Of course it won't start printing until you exit notes.




	 For more info, type HELP PRINT at the NOTES prompt.

    I generated a postscript output file of the poem which looks rather
    nice.  I'm going to mail it to my soon to be X wife.

    This poem is wonderful.  After I read it, tears came to my eyes.
    I made a hardcopy of it, which I will frame and put it my diningroom
    at home.  I've needed something like this for a long time.
    Thanks.
