Something to Ponder


It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear . . . . It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to.

I love this one SQ. How many times do we let the fear of change hold us back? I'm quilty. Maybe just too stubborn. LOL Good Post.

I am writing this one out and puting it on my fridge. I am totally Linus when his blanket is in the dryer!
aka...groundlesness, when the rug has been pulled out from under you.But we learn great things in the inbetween.. if we can just stay there.

Rae*,
I agree, this is a really good one. If we could just past that initial fear we could learn so much.

Knight Writer,
That is exactly the same part I identified with, Linus and his blanket. Life if good as long as I have my blanket.

When I am Rich,
Squirrels know all things. LOL

Stanley K.
How was the middle part? Always, just like the squirrel I am.
Have a great weekend.

Lynn,
I think we all do to a point. Remind me not to make any changes around you. LOL

The middle part, during the transition, has been fun at best, and frustrating at worst, I had most of the weekend to build up to it, and it's never as bad or good as you think it will be, which is usually the case, I think of my life MUCH more, it seems, than anybody else, you know, and other people, are, for the most part, the same way,.. so,.. when you're going thru these kind of changes, they are more about you than anybody else, it's the way we react to situations that tell us the most about ourselves, I guess.
