Since my "Crossings" post there have been a lot of changes going on. The older I get the more I realize that change = life, and life = change. The trick is in learning to roll with the changes and in accepting that they will in fact come.
For most of my life I believed that happiness existed only in the absence of problems. How does one get a life without problems? Is there a merchant that carries that? Certainly in this globally connected world there must be a way to purchase such a thing! Wait...I'm sure I couldn't afford one if it were available.
I know, I'm jesting...pondering...wishing. As a small girl longs for a prince, a special dress or a beautiful doll to pretend with.
Sometimes what we long for is right before us, but somehow escapes our notice or our acknowledgement. I for one, can get so focused on the future and what I want to happen, or think should happen that I completely miss the present. But the present is all there is and when I think back - back over it all it dawns on me that I've missed a great majority of my "present." It isn't coming back either. It has become something else - the past.
