Life is full of change.
Some people are really good
At hiding changes in their life,
At least for a while,
Until life wears them down.
Some people you can tell
Right away that something
Has changed in their life,
But you still have to wait
To see how everything pans out.
Most of us don’t handle change
Very well. Even good change.
As they say all around,
“We are creatures of habit.”
But life has a way,
Even for those who are lucky,
Of bending your will.
Call it God, call it fate,
Or just luck. Sooner
Or later, there is going
To be a change.
When things are going well,
We fear it.
When life is hitting us hard,
We hope and pray for it.
And either way,
Most of us,
Do a funny thing—
We try to control it!
But those of us
Who have tried with
Everything we’ve got
And lost—
We know that life
Is like the weather.
There are seasons.
And within those
Seasons of life,
Anything can happen.
One thing is for sure,
And that’s nothing.
You just take
What life gives you,
And don’t worry
About the rest.

Stumbling along the sidewalk 
And what is the saying, that “change is the only constant?” I know this, yet I keep trying to control it…
You’d think I’d have learned by now (grin)
Nice.
yes, caught there too. control is the means to spiritual pride. we want to play God. very frustrating.
Giving up control is one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish. Once we realize that we cannot control what others do, say, or feel or control what fate hands us, we are much happier. Getting to that point, however, often takes a lifetime!
Well, to be honest, I don’t know where I am with that. Awareness, I guess. Perhaps the first step. Thanks.
