CHANGE isn’t most peoples favorite word. We often associate it with stressful and negative things – divorce; moving; death; getting fired; failure; loss – the list could, literally, be never ending. But what we forget is that not all change is bad…and that even seemingly negative changes can lead, eventually, to positive outcome. I think good ol’ Aristotle said it best when he said that is not only inevitable but that…
CHANGE CAN BE SWEET
We’ve all had changes in our lives that appeared as curses but later turned out to be blessings. I know one of mine was my divorce. Heartbreaking though it was (and certainly one of the darker and oddly most enlightening periods of my life) it was honestly for the best, and I could see it as such once I had gained enough distance from the initial trauma.
What changes in your life turned out to be unexpectedly sweet? Feel free to share them in the comments. I love hearing other people’s stories (as do other readers) – it reminds us that we’re not alone in our struggles nor in our triumphs…and that’s a beautiful thing.
Until next time…
Kisses & Chaos,
