I've been through so many changes that I don't even recognize my younger life as mine. There are changes that didn't want but that worked out just fine, ones that were thrust upon me but I could see they were opportunities, and ones I consciously made. It is always in retrospect that I can say that "change in good" because it always ultimately has been!<br /> Melissa Ann Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454907380469372468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-16551889034589582502015-08-14T08:48:04.964-07:002015-08-14T08:48:04.964-07:00Great post.

I know what I would like to change, and I'm working very slowly towards them.Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-52981847828928281502015-08-09T15:18:03.074-07:002015-08-09T15:18:03.074-07:00What you say is SO true!

Look how long we would rather staywith the status quo, even if the status quo is not so good! I have found that most change in my life has been for the best - even though I never wanted any of it at the start!!Melissa Ann Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454907380469372468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-55576125411542537962015-08-09T13:57:18.044-07:002015-08-09T13:57:18.044-07:00I love this, Melissa!

I can say that, though they didn't start out as changes for the good, they have ultimately been for the best.

The days when we step out of bed into freshly deposited cat puke, the milk has turned and none of our clothes fit?<br />True, those days ARE life. But so are the days where the sunrise is sublime, the garden blooming, and we are in the company of friends...<br />So I am working at being more conscious of what I say, and feel.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
