Thanks.

One of my favorite movies is National Velvet and in it Velvet's mother is giving her the money for her to enter her horse in the Grand National. When she does so she says:

"Win or lose, it's all the same. It's how you take it that counts and knowing when to let go. Knowing when it's over and time to go onto the next thing. Things come suitable to their time. Enjoy each thing, then forget it and go onto the next."

I've always loved that. Things end because they have to, because there has to be room for the next thing.
