The neighbours moved out yesterday and there is a certain sadness about the house now..its emptiness echoes around the street, the sounds of kids playing gone...the cat sunning himself on the back porch no more !
My daily observations give me cause to ponder the future, do we expect too much out of life, out of those around us or do we even care ?
Is there a plan when you make the decisions you make ?
Change is inevitable and constant, but having observed a break-down of a marriage, separation of a family and the parting of the fabric that was their lives I sit now with a hint of sadness around me; for them...I will never know the right and wrongs of anyone's life and lord knows I too have made my fair share of mistakes, but if only there was a way for each of us to win, even a small win would be acceptable.
A few years from now the house I sit in could be empty too...we never know what's about to arrive in our lives to test and challenge us.
Maybe I think too much, see too much ?
There is one thing each of us must do in our lives and that is to tell our story...as we see it, as we live it, there will be those that want to know why or how; there always is !
Maybe, just maybe we can build a better tomorrow for our young...a place where they understand all the variables of life, by studying our today's their tomorrows will be filled with a knowledge, an understanding on how to succeed...to win.
I glance over at the empty house now and wonder who will be our neighbour tomorrow ?
My hope for them, whoever they are is that happiness and peace fill their lives as I would hope others might wish for me...for now its quiet, empty...waiting for the change that is required.
