What change brings

They say change is as good as a holiday. And I hear myself blurting out this line a lot in conversation too.

This saying helps me more easily accept change {when it arrives out of my control}.

And with this saying in mind, I can more easily bid farewell to the old and welcome the new {believing change will do me good}.

This past year working through {and waiting for} change has brought uncertainty, worry and endless wondering...

But the whole time I've held onto the belief that change would deliver {in the end} that holiday feeling. Free. Relaxed. Calm. Effortless. Able. Light.

And I've noticed when something {anything} changes in life there's something to be learnt. I'm so sure of that.

Because when change meant having to do things differently, I learnt to adapt.

And when change required having to ask for a hand, I learnt to accept help {with thanks}.

Change has meant living with and without {things, people, opportunities, work, time}, and learning to cope just the same.

Change has meant viewing and doing things differently, and learning to let go of old patterns and ways of thinking too.

But mostly I've learnt that change brings an opportunity to change {grow, learn, empower, understand}. And that no matter how big change is, there is always {always} a way to overcome change {in the end}.

Has this year seen any big changes for you? And are you grateful for change?
