Change.

    Truly, the only constant in life is Change. Like it or not, believe it or not, embrace it or not. Each day brings with it possibilities aplenty to accept and prepare for. The choice as always rests in the person who stares back at you each morning in the mirror. Change can be expected, unexpected, terrifying, stupefying, life-altering either for the better or the worse. Depending again on the kind of person you really are. The battle often lies in that very reality, knowing who you are.
     It often amazes me to think why we fear things. It seems rather ironic. Since the day we are born, we constantly keep changing, unconsciously, consciously, a response built in to survive. Yet, when change presents itself to us, the instantaneous reaction in most people is fear. We are born to die. That is a fact of life. But what is also equally accepted is what you do in the interim as a person is what defines you. So if life decides to throw a googly at you, now and then, the best you can do is chin up and face the task at hand. Do it to the very best of your capacity, to the very best you possibly can and leave it be. Because at the very end of the day, this life, this one life you have as you is truly precious, truly worth living to the fullest, truly worth being thankful for.
    And as the wheels of my life spin on in frantic pace, I wake up, a day older than the night before. I hope in earnest that I live this life, as well as it deserves to be lived. Change being my (and the) only constant.
