Winds of Change

Winds of Change

 Time changes everything, and we need to be able to re-evaluate our own lives and the direction we are headed in. It doesn’t matter if the direction is one we have selected for ourselves, or one where life itself has lead us there unaware. Sometimes those things that we thought mattered most, are not important any longer. Rather, things that we overlooked or have forgotten from the past come closer to our new reality.

Change is an emotional experience that reminds us that nothing is permanent. It teaches us to prioritize those things that are really important.
