I’m in a hotel room waiting for the kids to wake up. On the drive from Michigan to Atlanta, Georgia we had to stop and get some rest a few hours ago.

Or should I say, I had to stop. They slept pretty good.

We will be getting on the road shortly. I am quietly reading in a bed that I hope has no bedbugs (been listening to too many pear control guys) and reading a book that I forgot to pick back up.

You know how you are reminded of something that you already knew? (through reading, conversations or déjà vu).
This book is full of things that I already know…either consciously or not…and I keep forgetting them.

I am thankful for the reminder.

The book quotes a line in a book by Gary Renard, “you will not break loose until you realize that you yourself forge the chains that bind you.”

See I knew that!!!

So why do I hold on to these chains?
