Five Minute Friday - Hold

One word. Five minutes to write about it. This is the idea behind Five Minute Friday and this is today's free-writing post.

hold on

hold my hand

to have and to hold

********************

There are many things I hold dear or hold close. There are memories I hold onto and beliefs and values that I hold. Holding on is a choice. No matter what I hold, it's my choice to hold on and how tightly. When my husband and I go for a walk together we often hold hands. Not a tight grip but to stay in contact, and if I stumble (which is often since I have bad knees) he steadies me. When my kids were little I held their hands much more tightly, especially when we were in a crowded place or crossing a street. 

Some things we hold onto gently because they are precious. Some things we hold loosely because we know we may need to let go. Sometimes we do need to hold very tightly, so it doesn't get lost or pulled away from us. But it's always a choice. I have to choose wisely what I'm holding on to.

This is one of my daughter's original songs, and I think it's the first original she shared on her YouTube channel. I had to include it here because the title is . . . "hold".
