Serenity & Change

Into serenity most come change.

I have come to the conclusion that serenity is fluid-it ebbs and flows throughout your life.  As I am writing this post I am watching and listening to the waterfall in my backyard and feeling a little sad but also exciting over the forward direction my life is now flowing.

It has taken me this summer to learn how to let go of anger, let go of some fears and realize that each day ebbs and flows with its own pace and that I must learn to move within that pace rather than try to fight and change it.  When the flow has a downward spiral you cannot change the current but you can adapt and look forward on how to rise above it and maintain the serenity of the world around you rather than continue to flow downward.

In the past week I have finally located a new home and hopefully will find a new career pathway.  I will be sad to leave the Summer of Serenity, but the seasons ebb and flow and so must I.

I have been asked if I would return to the home at the waterfall and I find that I am torn with loving to have another Summer of Serenity or believing that serenity is something you must find where ever you reside.  After the past 4 months here I truly believe that now I can locate my serenity anywhere, because serenity must be within you in order for it to surround you.

Thank you for being a part of my "Summer of Serenity"
