Moving on.....
Sometimes it is time to move on from things, friends, places, whatever it is we hold onto because they mean so much to us we just cannot let them go. For many people it might be old loves who dont love you anymore, a wore out pair of comfortable shoes, for me it is my old mountain bike. Sounds silly, but true. I love my old Ironhorse fat tire bike. Even if it was heavy and slow, it got me up a few hills including the Wank in Garmisch, down by the river on nice summer days, and out and about on the town until all hours of the morning. But, I now have 3 bikes, and with the deal I made with my wife I am bound to get rid of it, my trusty old mare. The one good thing, I found someone who will take care of her, love her oil her chain and ride her like she deserves to be ridden. Now to get my wife to get to her end of the bargain and dump the "granny-bike". It has a bent handle bar, she never rides it, and I hate it, though it is useful for short trips to Netto or Norma because it has a convenient basket on the back. How about you all? Anything you have that you have been clinging to that needs to go? An old girlfriend or wife perhaps??? HEHE

I thought about this all day. LOL. I do hold on to mementos - things I want to pass on to my daughter who then will pass those things on to her children. But, I've moved on from things in life that have run their course. I'm a "get on with it" type of person. Pretty cut and dried.
There are too many people who hold onto a love that's long passed - still clinging to it for dear life when it has sucked the life right out of them! LOL :)
I think you should hold onto things if they make you comfortable though - no matter how old or decrepit or if they don't really serve a purpose anymore. Just to know they're near, could bring you that smile when you need it most.
Yes, I am forever trying to hold on to the ways of my youth...music, working out, going to the swimmbad, my wife's favorite thing to say to me lately is "act your age" to which I reply "no way in hell, baby!".
You have to think and act young to be young. You know what they say - it's wasted on the youth - or something to that effect.
I'll put up Bond music this weekend.
Bond....James Bond ~ ~
