Changes

Where did anyone ever get the misguided idea that things never change? Or that some things should never change? At what age do we become fearful of change? Over the past 55 years of my life I can't remember a single day without change. Really! Something always changes -- the weather is never the same. The so called daily routine has changes no matter how hard one might try not to change it happens. So why are so many folks so fearful of change?

I learned very early on that if I looked at change as the spice, the mystery, a new adventure that change was what gives life it's fizz! I can't prevent it, so why not just go with the flow and learn either to embrace it or deal with it -- because it's going to happen. Then something wonderful happens, you begin to find it interesting and exciting. It takes on a whole new dimension and essence.

Change becomes like the smell of the earth after the rain -- fresh, clean and full of potential. Change becomes like the feeling of the warm salty breeze that comes off the ocean -- causing you to sway in it's embrace. Change becomes the cool, crisp, quiet of a fresh snow -- taking your breath away and making you feel alive!

And if you really hate the changes happening in your life -- don't worry so much, things will change.
