The wisdom of Havelock Ellis

"All the art of living lies in a
      fine mingling of letting go and holding on."

Havelock Ellis (1859-1939)
British physician, psychologist, social reformer

Ellis also wrote canonical stuff on human sexuality—he offered some enduring insights about the kind of people we are.

I guess we have to say that the art of living surely includes more than the "fine mingling" Ellis mentioned above.

But at any given moment, I guess figuring out how to do the fine mingling with reasonable success would pretty much qualify for living the good life.

I'm going to let go of something today.

I'm going to hold on to a double handful of the stuff that's worth keeping.

And I'll mention that remembering to say "I love you" is high on the "Art Of Living" to-do list.
