Give Me Your Arm, Old Toad
My Old Hell Freezes Over Friend used to joke about turning into old ladies who read religious pamphlets on the bus.
Yes, please.

CHANGE
I envision and prepare for new beginnings.
As winter makes its arrival, I notice changes on display in nature--leaves gone from the trees, birds flying south and the temperature turning cold. As we leave one season of our lives and transition to another, we may feel a sense of loss. Yet just as the trees use winter to prepare internally for eventual springtime, I know that a quiet time of reflection allows me to envision and prepare for new beginnings in my life.
I cannot hold on to the life that was, but I can fully live the life that is, right now. By embracing the present moment, I find peace in the midst of change. I find hope remembering that in due time, in the right season, my own spring--my rebirth--will burst forth.
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. --Ecclesiastes 3:1
