Apostasy

In the midst of marriages and co-habitations everywhere, I have a few friends divorcing.  One of them is having a party to celebrate the divorce being final.  He told me about it, and, with a bit of a wry laugh, suggested, "So if you have any promises you wish to renounce, or commitments you'd like to break, bring them along.  We'll have a bonfire." 

I liked the idea, and am pondering which commitments I am ready to abandon, which promises it is time to forsake.

How about any promise you've ever made (explict or implicit) to live up to the values, goals or opinions of others rather than finding and being yourself?

Have a great holiday, Sherry!

I think exactly the sort of thing David is talking about is ripe, dry, and tender.
