The self-help books and wise person quotes are true. Change happens. Change is difficult. But, we do live through it. And, if we accept change rather than shut down, we grow in wisdom from the change. How do you handle change? At different times in my life I have fought change rather than embraced it. My fighting only made going through the change more difficult. Always change was hard, but so far, always on the other side, life is better.
Riding the Change
Change is coming, anxiety appetizer delivered,
Gnawed on and through, change still coming
World is gray, void, days of trudgery, waiting, waiting
One foot in front of the other, do the motions,
Keep upright,
Stress gnaws at body from inside out,
Medical manifestations, body doesn’t lie
Finally, THE CHANGE happens…
Not liked I hoped; but on the other side now
Body and soul relax, aches gone, routine returns
Riding the change never gets easy
