A change of days

Today signals a change of seasons on the planet. For those of us in the northern hemisphere, the days lengthen to their fullest bringing additional sunlight to savor. Four our neighbors in the southern hemisphere, the opposite holds true. They remind us of the constancy of change. It brings to mind so many changes that we experience over time. The seasons unfold into years and our childhood evolves into adulthood followed by maturity. With each of those seasons of life, there are pluses and minuses. As children we yearn for the time when we will have more control over the choices to be made. In adulthood we see our skills being applied in the work we do. In maturity we can understand how our experience can serve others. For something gained there is something given. In our later years we may not have the physical abilities associated with an earlier time in our lives. Nothing remains the same. It is our ability to accept where we are today with gratitude knowing that tomorrow will be different in some manner. What are you doing to celebrate the changes that are part of your life just as the seasons change today?
