Changing Seasons

I have had the most amazing week ever!  Its involved tears, and smiles and change!  Yes the season is changing - if you consider a cold summer to a cold fall a change, but that's not all thats changing.  

For a moment now, I've been resisting change, in all its forms and shapes, wishing I could go back to 2 years ago, to 6 mths ago, to 1 day ago ...but alas (lol, just felt like saying that : alas, alas) I couldn't.

So instead, I prayed.  I said God, please, please grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...help me to let go.  And for the last couple of days I have just had revelation, upon revelation. 

So this morning I've come to the conclusion:  If living involves growing, its only sensible to accept that living involves changing as well.  Changing in all forms: changes in size, in location, in wealth, in friendships and relationships, in your outlook on life. It is so not worth your while, going through life resisting change.  Focus instead on acknowledging, learning from, and enjoying those moments of change - they mean you're alive and growing.  Just as the seasons change for a reason, life changes for a reason...be still and listen.
