Change

 

At my age, change is not something I greet at the door with a hearty welcome. Maybe my attitude needs to improve.

This morning over breakfast, one of my breakfast group was explaining why he and his wife had decided to sell their place and move. He began by saying that the last few years had not been good. I won’t go into the details of his personal tragedies, just know he had a few. Anyway he said, “So my wife and I decided to seek some change in our lives.”
I remained quiet, but I listened intently, for someone our age doesn’t usually seek change, but instead merely accepts it as it occurs. His words got me to thinking about change and taking a more proactive role on one’s own circumstances.
Change is going to come to all, it is only a question whether we seek it out or let it take control.
