Today's thought from Hazelden is:

The reality is that changes are coming . . .They must come. You must share in bringing them.
--John Hersey

Change. It's scary. It's hard. It's needed. Sometimes it feels good; other times it feels bad. But one thing is for sure: it keeps on happening.

Just when our life seems settled, it changes. We can't stop life. We can't stay this age forever. The world changes. Life moves on. There are always new things to do and learn.

Change means we're always beginners in some ways. We need to ask for wisdom and courage. We get it by listening, by praying, by meditating. When we ask, our Higher Power will teach us to be part of good changes.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, help me believe that Your plans call for good changes.

Action for the Day

Today I'll think about the changes in my life. I've lived through a lot. I'll be okay when more changes come, with God's help. I can keep on growing.

Change is the name of the game these days. Mom and Barry are about to go through some tremendous changes. Hopefully Barry is better adjusted with it because Mom is off the charts with venom. This makes my third go around with dealing with her mania in my life time. It's no more pleasant now than it was 30 years ago. And like always, I'm her main target.

Changes are coming for me, too. Now that I'm without transportation again I'll need to find other ways to get from place to place. Hey, I may actually save money since I won't be buying gas. There will be changes in the classroom this year, too. I have no idea how others will take the changes but I will continue to move forward.
