Changeable

by Ruth Isenberg

This time of winter into spring can be confusing. Crocus buds are popping out in some areas, thanks to the warmer than usual temperatures we’ve been experiencing. At the same time, we’ve had days when sun has changed to clouds, then to rain, then to big fluffy snow flakes, to sleet, to hail, and back around to sunshine. Not good for those crocuses, I’m afraid.

As it stays lighter in the evenings, and gets lighter earlier in the monrings, I wake up earlier and more cheerfully. My dogs also wake up earlier and hungrier!

This winter can be described as changeable. And that isn’t a bad thing. Changeable weather has made many of us change our patterns of behavior, and our ways of seeing the world around us. There are new things to notice, and new experiences to try as we adjust to the changes around us.

At the same time, plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose roughly translated from the French as the more things change, the more they stay the same . Change is the one constant in life, and it is vitally important to learn how to adapt to the changes.
