The common subject to my day so far has been Change. I talked with a pregnant client about changes in her body, I talked with a mom about changes in her 20 years of married life. Change happens, and it can always bring about something better, even if it feels like you're stuck under the rain cloud and your umbrella is 3 blocks ahead of you.
From the time we are conceived, our bodies go through continuous change...we are put together so amazingly! Some days, though, change can hurt- they're not called growing pains for nothing! Dynamics change in relationships, environments change at work, your first child moves away from home, you go back to school after 20 years in the same job. Change.
I don't mean for this post to be sad and morose (poet and didn't know it!), but sometimes it is good to take a seat back for a minute and view what kind of change is happening around us. And realizing that change is not always a bad thing!
Change can bring excitement and challenges and laughs and memories. New people to cherish. New discoveries about ourselves! I have found the best cure for the "stuck-in-a-rut" syndrome is change! Learn a new hobby, join a club...talk your husband into taking dancing lessons with you (the challenge of doing that alone is worth it!) Travel. Laugh. Try a different ethnic cuisine. Go to karaoke and sing your heart out! (I know that Shania Twain wanna be is in there...)
At the end of the day, realize that life is wonderful and that no bad thing lasts forever. Every cloud does have its silver lining, and the sun will come up tomorrow. Life is about seeing through the construction dust to the work of art that is being built-YOU!
Give yourself a hug from me...you are amazing! <3
