Accepting Change

"Life is a constant change" my mother says quite often, sometimes with a sigh. This little motto of hers has helped her take life's changes in stride.

Another inspirational thought she loved was found in the Serenity Prayer.

She liked it so much she created this embroidered wall hanging of it.

















We all have different ways of accepting the hard things in life.

Reminding herself that "it takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow" is one friend's way of reconciling herself to these times.

I'm a little simpler! The only change I'm looking for these days is the end to our seemingly endless cold weather! There's nothing like a long, cold winter to make me appreciate spring.

Maybe there's a metaphor in that, too.
