Adjustments.....

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” ---- Ralph Waldo Emerson

And so the world keeps turning.

Things change, whether we want them to or not.

Some things we change, some things change us.

But there is no neutral, no pause button.

Change is constant, some moving us forward, some moving us back, but never letting us remain inert.

With change comes collateral damage and collateral benefits.

Rarely are the details of either known in advance.

In my life I've chosen to enthusiastically embrace whatever change is offered, with little but positive results.

Not all can, depending on their risk tolerance and acceptance.

But most wish they could.

Even with the collateral damage it can cause.

I've rarely been disappointed.

"Most people live lives of quiet desperation in prisons of their own making." ---- Rob Kelch

“All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.” ---- Anatole France
