Change of Seasons

Just like all things in life nature has its way of telling us when it is time for change. This is my favorite time of the year. I love to smell the fresh crisp air and watch the leaves turn. It reminds me a lot of life in general. We all have to take time to notice change in our life and be prepared for it when it happens. There are always little hints that tell us that change is upon us - the key is whether or not we listen to these hints. Sometimes we try to fight change and all it does is frustrate us. If we just accept change as a normal part of life we enjoy the journey a lot more. We are not supposed to know what happens next - that is the beauty of life. It is constantly giving us new challenges and new chances to test ourselves. We have to be ready to face life head on and not run from the challenges that are places before us. Every recoverying person knows that change it inevitable. We have to learn to take the good and not so good and use it to further our lives. No matter what happens in our life there is something we can learn from it. We have to be open to this learning and not be so set in our ways. My challenge for you today is to notice what it out there right in front of you - embrace it and make it your friend!
