The Change of Seasons
I think one of the hardest things to come to term with, is that our life goes through seasons. There are people in our lives just for one reason or another that are here for some time and leave without notice. During the holidays, as the leaves change color and fall to the ground, I am reminded that the wind blows people, issues, change in our lives without our consent or approval.
It is hard to accept that everyone is not meant to walk this journey with you from beginning to end. We lose people along the way, by choice or by circumstance. During these times I am comforted in knowing that each person we encounter play a factor into our lives. We learn, we grow, we change, we think, we teach, we become...because of those who have blown in our lives during some season.
You wonder how is it that friendships, marriages, relationships, etc. can become so fragile. Like the tree, they bend, they sway, they lose their color, they bloom, they break and sometimes they're bare. The one thing I remember and encourage you to keep in mind...the tree is ever evolving with the change of the seasons. It won't stay like this forever!
So whether you're feeling lost, alone, discuraged, confused, hurt, angry, sad, or just need someone to talk to I hope that you seek the help you need. Who knows you may change the look of your tree by doing so.
