Tarl and I (mostly I) decided to bump our wedding date up from June 2010 to September 2009. I had already filled out the calendar in my "Bride's Mini 411" to accommodate my 2010 date. I had to erase about fourteen months of dates!! My No. 2 eraser was having a hard time with the task, so I went to look for another(and bigger) eraser..Remember those giant pink ones you'd get in first grade? To my surprise, I couldn't find one anywhere! This was a little bizarre to me (especially since I was an elementary teacher); I always had one on hand somewhere. So the question that popped into my mind was: At what point do we stop having a big eraser to erase all of those mistakes as we learn? It seems like it's normal to make those simple or perhaps gargantuan mistakes when you're in school: learning algebra or writing an essay on Jane Austen..But what about when you're out there in the real world? If only it were that easy to just erase your simple (or perhaps) gargantuan mistakes: that speeding ticket or a bad relationship. Wouldn't it be nice to just erase them, learn from them, and move on? I've got a bad habit of letting the big mistakes haunt me for awhile...so I went out and bought a new, big eraser.
