Life, always changing

It's Sunday, the first day of the week. It's the first day of a new month and summer has finally arrived. But like every day life is constantly changing. People are doing something new or different, new projects, new hair style, new jobs, new cities, new book, new shoes, new glasses, new classes, new anything.

Birthdays come and go and with each one you are blessed enough to mark another year on this earth. Because if you look at life from the viewpoint of you are dying every day it is kind of sad. But looking at life as you will never again be as  young as you are right now, well it makes you appreciate the time, the moment and the blessing of being alive, who you are, where you are at and all that you are blessed with.

With this month ahead we have not only three birthdays in our house but changes coming with a new job, new location and life taking not just one of us but all of us some place new. When one family member moves and goes to a new city, state or country with them a part of the rest of the family goes too. No, I'm not planning on all of us moving but visiting is definitely in the plans. The new opportunities to see new places, go some place where we've never been before is exciting and fun. But more than that is the excitement of seeing your child work, go after and reach goals they've dreamed of and wanted.

So despite a dreaded milestone birthday coming up I'm excited to see what is ahead for as I titled this blog, life is always changing. And when you are a family and one person makes a change it is a change for everyone who knows and loves that person. It may seem at times that life is dull and boring, day in and day out we plug away because we loose track and don't notice the little changes, the seasons come and go and we continue. So with life changes, big, small or whatever the size embrace them and enjoy.

Positive thought of the day: My kids who still come home to visit and see us. Maybe I didn't screw up as much as I think I have! They are really great adults who regardless where they live, what they do and how often or little they come home to visit will always be my greatest accomplishment, my mark on the world! They will never realize how much I love them until they have kids of their own!
