Changes in our Life

Reading a book by Gail Sheeny some years back

I discovered a fact about myself that I did

not know. Life Changes. It amazes me how

accurate this author was about my life. I am

sure that the book was not written for me ,

however she hit the nail on the head. Each ten

years of our lives seem to change. We go through

changes, sometimes unbeknownst to even ourselves.

Changes in looks for sure, but also changes in our

personality and how we look at life. Changes in

how we handle our everyday problems, changes in how

we view other people's views , or other people's

method of handling their own problems. We seem to

find fault with others more readily or maybe we

just grow more impatient as we grow older. I have

seen my older parents take more interest in their

grandchildren maybe because they had more free time

to appreciate children than they did years ago. I

have noticed myself looking at my life and people

around me and their lives and how we are changing.

As you grow older life becomes both more difficult

and more enjoyable. You have a better understanding

of life and sometimes when you realize this part of

your life is almost over. It is too late to change

or sometimes too late to make a difference. Start

taking a look at your life. Start trying to understand

what your life means. Try to understand how your lot

in life affects other people around you. You may want

to change some aspects of your life to make other people

around you happier. Then again you may not. Change is there

for the taking. Only you can change your life. If you are

happy and your life is full then maybe you have realized the

change somewhere in your past time of life and you are

already at peace. You are lucky. People live a lifetime of

unhappiness and never find peace. The sad part is they never

figure out that only they can make a change in their life to

make their life happier. Thus making everyone around them

happier and bringing peace to everyone in their life. Change

is good. Changes in our life pattern is good. Change for the

better is always good. Look at your life. Do you need a change?
