The natural state. Our moods change. Our lives change. Our feelings for each other change. Our bearings change. The song changes. The air changes. The temperature of the shower changes.
Accept this. We must accept this.

Oh we hate change don't we? Even if, in the long run, the change is good for us. We still hate it. We kick against it, we fight it, we run from it. We hate change. It's so interesting to me how much we hate change and how we will do everything we can to avoid it, to keep it from happening. Sure, some of the minor changes of life are inconvenient but when it comes to the biggies we view them as more than inconvenient. They scare us. We don't like the unknown and change is usually a bunch of unknowns. I have discovered that a lot of times the big changes that are actually good for us usually happen by "force". Since we are reluctant, at best, to allow the change to come usually it then has to be introduced through painful and hard circumstances. Why do we do that to ourselves? In retrospect I always think that the actual change was so much less painful than the circumstance I forced to happen so the change could take place!
What would happen if we saw the change coming and instead of fighting it we embraced it? How might that alter how the change takes up residence in our life? It's just a little something to chew on for this Monday morning. :)
