Catch and Release

To set the scene...
5 candles are lit
Fresh Margarita
And one of my new favorite movies "Catch and Release"

If many people have not seen this movie, I recommend that they do. Not just because the movie is placed in my home state of Colorado, but there are just so many emotional ups and downs that I think as humans we can all agree with.

Why does Colorado always appeal to me. There is something about the "air" there. Once in a while when I'm golfing I smell this very crisp air that has a evergreen smell to it and I always say it out loud "This smells like home". Its amazing I can be around tons of people, but every time I catch a hint of that Colorado air, I just stop slowly raise my nose and do over 30 deep breaths. Its amazing the feeling. Sometimes my eyes get watery. I think the sense of smell is such a gift. It reminds us sometimes of things that we no longer have...

But back to my Catch and release idea. Is it possible to have had something so great, then loose it and still be ok with the loss but be grateful about the experience that you had. But in the end to be able to move on and get something even better than what you had???
