Thoughts on Change


Change.

Change is usually not easy.

Most people dread it. Many avoid it. Too many refuse to accept it.

But sometimes...
change is freeing.

Change, when we hold onto it tightly and let it take us for a ride can help us to see with new eyes. Change can brighten and enliven.

Change can let us breathe again when we didn't know we were struggling.

Change can open new doors, close others in it's wake.
Change can feel bad but it can also feel good.
Change, most of the time, is necessary.

Whether we like it or not, change needs to happen to shake things up, to keep life moving, to bring newness and energy and hope.

Sometimes change, life, hope can feel out of reach.

Sometimes we have to leap to grasp it and grow wings on the way down.

That's what I did.
I leaped, took a chance, grasped at change.

And so far....I'm enjoying the flight!
