I love when the ground awakens after a long winter with new sprouts of green. I love hearing the birds chattering in the trees, seeming to sing after a silence that seemed to be forever. Yes, I love the feeling of seeing new life and the smell of the rain after a shower. It is a time of new beginnings, some are painful. You have to say goodbye to the old stuff and embrace the new. Yet, if you are like me, it gets harder and harder each year to let go. That's where the pain comes in. You resist the new ways and look. You want things to remain the same, even though you know that it can't. Change happens.
I faced the changes before. Some changes, like the budding of a flower, are welcome. You get excited for those changes to happen. Sometimes you even long for those changes. Other changes are not welcome....time of life changes come to mind. You dread the feelings that sometime overwhelm you. You want to turn back the clock, but you can't. I have been thinking a lot about certain changes, struggling to accept them and move on with my life. I know I need to think of what's happening as a new beginning for me. That's hard. I can thank God that he never changes, and that he is the same yesterday, today and forever.
