Things Change

Today, at this moment, life may be very hard. I get that. We all have gone through times when life has been difficult. But do you remember what life was like a year ago? Two years ago? I bet it was different. It might have been better; it might have been worse. But it was definitely different.

That is what is important to remember, whatever it is you are facing now, it will be changing. It does not matter if life is wonderful and rosy right now, or horrible and scary. It will change. You can count on it. If you are at a part of your life that is full of love, please hold it tight and appreciate where you are at. Enjoy every minute. Do not take it for granted. If life is hard, do not worry about this lasting forever. It will not.

 The other important piece that you need to hold on to is how quickly time passes. At the beginning I asked you if you remembered what life was like a year ago. Do you also remember how quickly recent a year ago seems? It is currently the beginning of October as I write this. It will be holiday season in a blink of an eye. Summer will be here before you know it. And once again, we will be ready to start the holidays. Time truly does fly.

Whatever you are in the middle of, it will change. Time will pass, and you will be in a very different place.  Appreciate now. Look forward to the future. And always, always, enjoy the journey!
