Don't Take It Personally !

There appears to be something in the air...a shift of sorts...change some call it !

Over the past weeks, things have changed, people have changed...some have moved away, stop all lines of communication and what is left behind is a state of confusion and mistrust.

I look within, pondering my interactions with those around me...it is then I remind myself that these changes began long before I became aware...the realization that it is a global shift and finally that our safe, little haven has become much like the rest of the world goes some way to prepare me for the way ahead.

For so long we were far from the daily dramas that played out, we were safe...we were isolated and yes it was good...did we miss something I wonder, did we become complacent and let something slip in undetected ?

The older I become the more aware I am of the shifting sands around me...experience has gifted me various talents, abilities to weather most storms, but it is difficult to see those around you become fearful of the future...their future, unable to help them avoid life in all its glorious forms.

It is at this point we must all gather what we can of ourselves to stand firm, to look at the road ahead in a different way...maybe there is an alternative direction each of us can take...another way perhaps, yet again change is ever present.

I don't know where each of us go from here, but I do know every day from now on will be an opportunity to create something wonderful...life will always throw something in your direction that will either make you or break you...knowing what I know now and having experienced loss of varying degrees in the past, this is yet another turn in the path ahead, and I refuse to break.

I can't see around the next corner, nobody can...we must live each day as it comes, approach each moment with hope that it may be better than the last, we must be kinder to ourselves and Never...Ever take it personally.....then the road ahead maybe long and winding....but the journey will be worth every step forward.
