Beautiful Puerto Rico. I spent months looking at this view. Even here the seasons change

It’s that time of year when summer is turning to fall, when the daylight is disappearing quickly and the trees are assuming the majesty of fall colours. Soon they will be bare, ready to stand strong against winter and the harshness of the cold.

It’s a great time to look at ourselves and begin to shed what we no longer need to carry too.

Everything around us changes. The world is built on change. I am not who I was a year ago, nor do I expect to be the same a year from now. And I accept that those closest to me will change too.

Change can be frightening as it reminds us of how fragile our existence really is, and how temporary our life situation is. We arrive, we live, and then we are gone. This is the one thing we all have in common.

One day, we will all arrive at the same finish line, and that is just the way it is.

Some path, somewhere in Costa Rica. Leading where? I have no idea…

I often marvel at how a single moment in time can change the course of a life completely.

It could be an accident, a phone call, a chance meeting with someone, or finally saying out loud to someone what you have wanted to say.

That’s how powerful each moment can be.

I remember lots of moments like this in my life. Like telling someone I had been with for years that I was leaving, building up the courage to say out loud what I had rehearsed so many times until it was finally screaming inside of my mind so loud that the words had to come out.

Of course the words didn’t come out the way I wanted them to. All of the rehearsal was a waste of time, because nothing went according to script.
