Eye of the Tiger

Hi Bloggers! I have a dear sweet sister-friend named Jen. Jen is a competitive horse rider (or shall I say equestrian) who took the time a while back to teach me to ride. I loved it! I new I was a nature girl but I didn't realize how much I was until I got on her horse, Dolly. Dolly was so patient with me. She handled my newness with ease. I never fell off of Dolly but there sure were times when I thought I was going to fall. But she steadied herself which in turn held me on.

Over the past few days I have felt the steadying of life when I was sure I was going to fall off. The bumps and the rough ride of life can have us thinking that we are going to fall off. But we won't if we just trust that we are not going to fall. Our thoughts will determine our behaviors...

In that same time, I began to get distracted by the bump and the seeming change of a new season or a different course my life was going to take. The hurt of the change or the pain of the withdraw of a constant can distract us from our goals. We must have the eye of a tiger and not get distracted when the seasons change...

Change can be the hardest thing we have to deal with in life. I know for me I don't do change very well. I like consistency. I like knowing what to expect with the two that matter is things change. Seasons to change. And change they must...

The atmosphere has a way of letting the weather know how to behave in a particular season. This season has to change so that growth can continue. Our lives are just like this season. Our lives change: people come, people go, jobs come, jobs go, experiences come, experiences go...

We must embrace the changing of seasons. Yes, our hearts may be heavy and tears may well open our eyes but also there may be those who are excited that the season is changing. Embrace the season that you're in with expectation that it will change. You may not know when it will change but it will change.  So let your hearts be lifted.

Blessings,

Aurellia
