Changes have been a comin'! I am sorry that I have been so busy, but in the past month I have had two sons graduate and one progress. One from high school and one from middle school. The other one goes to fourth grade next year. We had college orientation and graduation parties at both sides of the families' and with friends. We went on vacation. Then I had to close down my office at the Germantown Healing House. Now I am working on my office in my garage.
Changes kind of hit us hard sometimes. My curly headed baby is now turning eighteen and leaving home for the first time. How did that happen?! Where did the time go, and how did it go so fast?! My platinum haired baby is working this summer for the first time and has his own money for his music and pizza. My littlest is chest high to me and growing up too fast!
My oldest is daunted at the prospect of having to regulate his own study time and be living so far away from his familiar room and routines. His life has BIG changes in store this next year.
My middle son is so excited about high school that he can't wait, but he'll find out that there'll be changes that he didn't expect and it won't all be the fun and games that he is thinking that it will be. It will be probably the funnest time in his life, so I've told him to enjoy it and not take being young and free for granted.
My little one is bummed out that he doesn't get to go to a new school, too, but he does have some new technology, a reader, this year, that will help him do better and we hope that his confidence will grow when his 102 I.Q. verbally matches what he can do on paper. (He's disgraphic.)
On both sides of the families I have heard how time flies and things change so many times this past month!
The young high-schoolers that are my son's friends now seem a little anxious rather than excited about graduation, now that it's come and gone.
Things do that. Things come into our life and then move on, don't they? All things are transient.
The heartache that I felt closing down my first "permanent" out of home office I can't even describe. I painted those walls and put up that decor and moved in that furniture and organized everything for max. efficiency, but then, I had to tear it all down. There was nothing that I could do about it in the end but accept it, do it, then go on with my plans for the future. My home office is in the works, and maybe I can grow it enough to make it similar to what we had at the Healing House. Maybe we'll get enough clients that we can afford an even bigger space and grow exponentially. I don't know.
That's the scary thing about changes, isn't it? We don't know what's going to happen. We have to trust the Universe that it has our greater good in mind for us and that if we have faith, ride the flow and are peaceful, loving, compassionate people that good things will come our way. The world would love to pollute us with it's toxic negative, competitive, rat race and turn us into the naysayers and fearful that never reach out of their comfort zones and never do a thing for themselves or for anyone else that's not convenient. We just have to have faith. We make the life that we want. If we let life make us, then we turn out very sadly indeed!
Hang in there when changes come your way. The change may be what brings you a step closer to your goals, or it may be a learning experience that we need at that point in our lives. We don't know, and we don't get to know until hind sight brings us around to 20/20. We just have to keep talking our talk and walking our walk, that way things change around us, but they can't change us.
Until next blog.
Love, Angelia
