as I look out over the woods.
Tree I spotted as I headed to town for errands
the leaves have begun their beauty.
Everything changes
Nothing remains the same.
More aware of these words
as times goes on and I grow older.
Past thoughts that I would have
arrived in these later years,
taken care of past issues,
giving myself what I need
and not expecting it from others
and
ready for a fairy tale existence
is not arriving and probably
will not :)
You do all you know to do
and there is a deep peace and
I read somewhere that peace
within yourself is
true happiness.
One Woman is changing
family is changing
friends are changing
weather changes
The world is changing.
So you accept this,
put one foot in front of the other,
do not look back
and continue onward
Some words from Perma Chodran's book are.......
~~People need to see that if you hurt another person, your hurt yourself, and if you
hurt yourself you are hurting another person
and
then begin to see that
we are not alone.
We are in this life together.
for me, that's where the true
morality comes from~~

I loved your thoughts about changes and the photo is wonderful.
Have a lovely weekend ~ FlowerLady
We are all part of the circle of changes.
Hope you have a nice weekend! I always say....of course I did not say it first.....The only thing constant is change!
FlowerLady, Tabor and Beverly, thanks for visiting..
Love your thoughts on change...made me stop to think. The key, I think is to keep ones eyes on the road and not look back (maybe just a little).
Just think how many changes we've seen in our lifetime. Some for the good and some not so good....but I think that the good wins out in the end.I always say,"live with it awhile and see what happens." We have to greet changes with an open mind. Just "go with the flow" for the most part...or we can make ourselves miserable.

Yes, indeed! I too read and listen to Pema Chodron, who has brought me greater understanding, insight, peace, and a few laughs as well.
Happy Sunday.
