Today is the first day of summer. It’s a time when the season changes from the birth and rejuvenation of the spring season into the sultry and dry days of summer. It’s also a time of change for our mind, body, and soul. Our thinking shifts to a “getting away from it all” attitude. We look forward to vacation time with family, and a chance to refresh ourselves by stepping away from the ordinary. We relish in the fact that we can remove ourselves from our daily grind and look at life in a whole new way.
Change is good, even though sometimes we reject it because it takes us out of our routine. Change is also, sometimes, a little scary. In the coming month, this blog site will go through a metamorphosis of sorts. It will become part of a bigger, larger plan that has been placed before me. I will be following a new horizon, if you will. Perhaps this quote from Washington Irving says it best:
“There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in travelling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one’s position, and be bruised in a new place.”
It is time to shift myself and experience new pains of growth. Change is coming! Watch for it!
