Change is welcome...

...but not necessarily always positive

One of the best ways to adapt to change is also to change. So, if I seem a little more pensive or more brooding or more quiet that you're used to seeing me act, you're not going crazy. And nothing is too terribly wrong... yet. I feel like I'm grasping sand by the handful and then trying to go somewhere, like all the sand will still be in my hands when I get there. But everyone knows that if you grab sand, it will just slip through your fingers.

So maybe it's time to start over...

Hey,
About the sand always slipping through your fingers?
Well, as you know I was born in CA, and I can still remember playing with the sand when i was little. I would always want to sneek up on my Mom or Grandma with a handful of sand to dump it on them, but it was always gone by the time I got there. Now that I think back on those moments, and more so on my Grandmother, I think of sand as two symbols. One is time, because we all have seen the little sand glasses that let you know when you are out of time. But most importantly, I think of the sand slipping through our fingers as a precious moment that we can hold, but only for a while, and that you should make the best of your journey with that moment. Life is short, and shorter when forgotten. Well, there's my sermon for the day... LOVE YA!!!

I've come to understand that one of the the great tasks in life, may not be about changing. I think it's about staying who you are, despite how good or bad things get.
