Without change, there is no growth. We are every expanding so there must be change. Nine months (Dec) ago my wife's health was beginning to fail, noticeably but not critically. We are seniors in our 70's. We always wanted to go to Italy ( we live in Vermont USA ) to possibly see any family connections. I knew it was not going to happen with her condition. Her health proceeded to decline even further and I knew I had to look into long term care. Well, she declined even more and passed peacefully in March in our home with family all around. For the situation, I could not ask for it go any better. Everyone pulled together. Not two weeks later, I found out that some of my family cousins ( my side family) were going on a trip to Italy. I asked if there was room to get in with them and we made it happen. I know my wife on the other side had a hand in this and she wanted me to go! I recently returned from the trip in July/August. It was amazing and life changing. I found so many family relations there and they treated us like royalty. It was very emotional. I will go back to spend more time with them. Moral of the story? You never know what may be in store in your life if you are open. Do I miss my wife? Yes!! Am I grateful that I was able to get to Italy? Yes! Looking back to nine months ago, I would never have believed that this year would have turned out like it has. The universe 'has our back' and change is part of the equation............
For me, change is listening less and less to what other people might or might not think, say and write. I simply feel I know within myself what others often shout from some roof top so that ALL AND SUNDRY must, oh must listen to their golden, oh so golden messages of truth, oh truth.
I CARRY, LIKE ALL LIVING MATTER, TRUTH WITHIN MYSELF.
But thanks for your words, stay curious and stay a´growing.

Beautiful Joe!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. Indeed the universe has our back and all the close ones on the other side. Bless you.
Light and peace your way
OK.
It´s no news, Kimmy.
IT´S THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND ALL LIVING MATTER.
AS OLD AS LIFE ITSELF.
