Everything we do, see, hear, touch, taste, experience, say changes us.
Everything we don't do, see, hear, touch, taste, experience or say changes us.
Our choices - for better or worse - change who we were and who we are becoming.
I am not who I was when I started to write this. And by the time I finish, I will not be the same.
Everything is always changing. Every second of the day.
Sometimes these changes are huge: life, death, love, hate, newness.
Although change unsettles us, although we often resist it, it still changes us.
Prompt from Writer's Island.

Life is complicated. The only way to get through it is one step at a time

Enough light for the next step
Often we want to be able to see into the future. We say, "How will next year be for me? Where will I be five or ten years from now?" There are no answers to these questions. Mostly we have just enough light to see the next step: what we have to do in the coming hour or the following day. The art of living is to enjoy what we can see and not complain about what remains in the dark. When we are able to take the next step with the trust that we will have enough light for the step that follows, we can walk through life with joy and be surprised at how far we go. Let's rejoice in the little light we carry and not ask for the great beam that would take all shadows away.

this should be on a poster in every office in the land....and on every fridge too.
Change for the better - chage for thwe worse. You are so right, and change is so unpredictable
Thank you. Currently am going through a vast amount of change: at work, at church and thinking about a move overseas.
Change can be good. But still unsettles us.
