Changes, ch,ch,ch ch, changes!

Changes, sometimes we love them and sometimes we hate them. This past two weeks provided opportunity to observe and participate in many of them. Change definitely has the ability to bring out the best and worst in people, me included.

For example, my mother has simply been amazing in her willingness to embrace major changes in life. This past week she relocated into an assisted living facility. For two years now I have been trying to convince her this would be best. Suddenly, as if out of nowhere she made an appointment and fell in love. All those "things" she held onto so long and thought of as so important went to the wayside.

Of course there are things she would prefer to have more to her liking, but she has adapted easier than any of us thought possible. She has obtained grace and dignity with this move. I even think many of her fears have also subsided.

With the loss of my father-in-law, my mother-in-law has also stepped up to the plate and shown remarkable strength and substance. Things she would have felt beyond her ability to accomplish now she does with little support.

While these women have embraced the necessary changes of life, I have also observed how others family members turn everything into a negative experience and choose to live miserable lives. One can only hope that at some point they too will learn to ride the roller coaster of life with a little more willingness and an open heart.

It simply proves yet again, how we constantly have the ability to change up our energy and utilize our free will to enhance our life experience. Look around your space and see what needs review, and create the life you want.
