Transition



Your life's a certain way
And then it's not
People here to stay
And then they're not

You like a certain color
And then you don't
You have a couple dollars
And then you don't

So choose a different way
Choose a different color
Choose another friend
Earn a few more dollars

Life is ever changing

Some things are forever
Some things come and go
It's what you do
With what you have
That paints a brand new picture


 
I have had the perfect life several times.  The thing is life keeps changing.  Something happens that leaves blank spots in my life.  And though it usually shakes me to the very core, I still keep getting up and moving on.  I paint another picture.

The truth is, life will always keep changing.  What our life looks like at any given moment is subject to change.  Which can be frightening.  But, it can also be encouraging.  Because what our life looks like today is only today.  We have the assurance that it will change.  We are always in transition.  We don't just wake up one day wiser, older, calmer, smarter, thinner, or better off.  It is a day by day transition.  

So if you are not happy where you are, hang on, it will change.  If you love where you are, treasure it, it will change.  For we are always in transition.

  2. This is so true! Change means new adventures, new insights and so on, you are so right--it can be frightening. Yet very liberating...depends on how you look at it.

  3. I was going to say exactly what bjl said but she beat me to it. In the midst of all life's transitions that very fact of knowing HE never changes, HE is always there has literally been my reason for going on day to day. Love your ramblings Dawn! JW
