Change is Constant

Easter 2011

It was Easter this past Sunday, and I was hit with the sudden realization that exactly a year ago -- I had flown in to Tulsa to visit my sister.  At the time, I was still residing in Los Angeles, (with no conscious plans to move) I just wanted to spend a week with my sister, and her two adorable kiddos.  I find it amusing and interesting to look back on this now, because little did I know at the time---how drastically my life was about to change in a few short months...

It's interesting to me how funny Life is in general.  ALL of us, go through life, blissfully unaware of the good things around the bend, or exciting changes life has in store for us.
If we are open to it.

A year ago, I was living in the heart of Los Angeles, with Hollywood a few minutes to the west, and downtown LA to the East.  I went to sleep every night, for 8 solid years, gazing at the Hollywood city lights, Capitol Records, and the Griffith Observatory.  The sounds of the occasional helicopter whirring by, lulling me to sleep. 

And I would wake every morning, to the familiar sounds of buses braking, cars honking, and greeting me outside my apartment window-the view of by the grand, Hollywood sign in the distance, and palm trees lining my streets.  My, how things have changed...

My one year mark of living in Tulsa, Oklahoma is rapidly approaching, so I'm feeling pensive, and reflective.  I can guarantee that a more thought-out post will appear- sharing what I've learned, and how glad I am that I embraced the call of change when it beckoned.

Because there is one thing I've learned, in all my life, of living. And that is, try as you may, there is one thing a person can't stop-- and that is Change.  Change is constant.
