Winds of Change…
Like the springtime breeze that brushes against the trees and flowers, passing them, leaving them a little different than before, the winds of change blow throughout our days bringing new beginnings and unexpected endings.
When one thing ends it often causes me to reflect a lot. Am I happy that it’s over? Do I wish that it were going to last forever? Could I have done more to make the outcome better? Were there things I would have done differently if I knew how or when it was going to end? Will I ever have the chance to see and work with the same people whom I have grown to love over this period of time? Or is it over? Finished? Complete?
These questions often come into my heart as things shift from one phase of life to another. Sometimes, in the hardest of times, it seems as though there is no light at the end of the tunnel and there is no way that this tragedy will ever come to an end. My life’s experience has taught me the opposite. No matter how good or bad something is it will always come to an end.
The people you work with change. The way you work will change. The people you love change. The people you hate change. How you feel changes, what you feel things about changes. Nothing about your current situation will stay the same forever, because you see everything changes. The world revolves, the seasons shift from spring to summer to fall, and we become what we are working toward.
I have a saying “You have to change to get better.” Although when it’s something I love that is changing I often begin to fear that whatever is coming next will not be as wonderful as what I have had already. Lately though, I have come to the realization that even when things change, and what you love the most is leaving you, something else wonderful will fill in the gap where it is missing as long as you have faith .
This life that is full of changes can be full of wonder and joy as we take the time to enjoy it while it’s here and look forward to what is coming next.
