Some things that used to be easy become more difficult.Some things that used to be difficult become easy.
Things we thought would be around forever are gone.
Things we never could have imagined would exist are here.
A few centuries ago, people believed strongly in the wheel of fortune—that circumstances would change, and did change, and that nothing good or bad would last forever.
You can't keep air, or save rain. Clouds are wet and wispy.
Bonus points if it runs; this one usually did.
If it's turquoise? Jackpot. This one was.
Now, though, it's off to be used by an auto-shop class at Dulce Jr./Sr. High School. It was always a truck passed between Keith and his friend Bob, who was best man at our wedding.
Marty is getting married next month. His best man wasn't born yet when that truck was made. Neither of them went to school, as kids. The bride did. She was a cheerleader at Bernalillo High School.
My kids used to be together all the time, every day, feeling crowded, sometimes. Now they don't see each other for weeks or months.
Things change. Even in the best of peaceful circumstances, things change. Keep your balance, find gratitude and abundance, and accept changes gracefully when you can.
