Changes

Change happens. I keep changing this blog for example. I have been changing all my life. I age, I gain strength, I learn, I grow. All changes. The most radical change I have made in my life is learning to love and accept myself just as I am. That one thing has made all the difference in my life. It has helped me learn to protect myself because I am worth love, peace and joy. I am worth adoration. In learning to love me, I find that I love others more and they love me back. There are things I am still learning about my recent changes. I am not the same person. I don't like the same things, colors, hobbies, people, that I once did. I am new. It takes getting used too, but with great loss comes great change. Those of us lucky enough to experience great loss and pain, come out with a new understanding of life and with new likes and dislikes. All of the sudden I like the color orange. Red is not my favorite anymore. It worries me a bit. It can be scary this new person, but I also am excited to find out who I am now. Change is good. Change is growth. Change is life. As long as I am still living, I am willing and open to change.
