Stick around, it'll change

When I was living in Chicago, I remember someone once saying to me, “if you don’t like the weather, stick around a bit, it’ll change!”  Well, life is like that too.  I know that change is hard, and even unwanted many times, but you know, it’s a good thing – even when it doesn’t feel like it. 

What would life be like if it NEVER changed?  When I think back to high school or college days, which were a lot of fun, would I still want to be living that exact same way forever?  I remember someone saying, enjoy your college years, it’ll be the last time you’ll have to worry about money.  I didn’t know what they meant at the time as I scraped by on very little, but now I know. Even though things today are tougher, honestly, I wouldn’t want to have remained there forever; especially when I look back on all the great things (okay, and some not so great) that have happened since. 

So now that I just turned another year older last week, maybe I am getting a bit wiser.  Or maybe just learning to appreciate life, because of and in spite of it’s changes and challenges.  Stick around and things will change.
