changes

[gianettaremigio]

In the past 2 weeks, 2 eastern star ladies I thought a lot of have passed away. In that same period of time a neighbor has been diagnosed with lung cancer. It seems like this is a time for lots of change and change is always upsetting. It seems like my reaction to all this change is either to be angry and short with people or to hide in my room and cry.
I anticipate this to be a difficlut and rather emotional time of year for me because of anniversary of Steve's death; but, this year there just seems to be so many other sad things happening.
So, today I decided to make some changes that would at least give me a positive focus. I rejoined the fitness place and was able to walk in the pool for 1/2 hour before my knee screamed at me, fell asleep in the wonderful sauna and felt better when I left there.
I gave myself permission to do nothing when I got home from Bible study and actually was able to go to sleep early and slept a bit.
It isn't a big change but it did refocus my thoughts for a while.
Sometimes it is the little things that make all the difference.
Let's see what change in focus should I try for tomorrow???
Maybe dinner with a friend?
Life is in the little things after all.
