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


The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble. ~Henry Miller


Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine. ~Robert C. Gallagher


They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. ~Confucius


If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. ~Author Unknown





Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights. ~Pauline R. Kezer


God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Author Unknown



It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself, which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable. Maya Angelou



I have been thinking a lot lately about the changes that we go through in our lives and how, in retro-spect, choosing to make these big changes defines our lives. In my youth I longed for and went to great lengths to preserve the status quo. That was my security, my safety, or so I thought. But that was before I made changes in my life, some chosen, some just appeared. And today in my life I am looking forward to the changes I choose and sometimes I am almost open to those that just appear. Scary, yes, but exciting and new and shining.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote: "Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found."
So my wish for us all is growth, transformation and change. Have a great day!

Love, Suz

  1. I hate change! I always have! I long for the people of my childhood and some of the ways things were then. I know that's a dream world that I can't have or the people from then, but it doesn't make me long for them any less. But, you are right, without change, we wouldn't grow and learn. So, change is inevitable and we have to go with it and grow up and accept it!
