Delray Beach...Transitions

The New Year is here and many are already geared up for what 2019 will bring.

By living mindfully, you understand that there are many transitions in life. You just go through them. Goldie Hawn

 

 

2018 brought so changes for many. Just driving down Atlantic Avenue lately, I see businesses opening and some closing.

Life is short, and if we enjoy every moment of every day, then we will be happy no matter what happens or what changes along the way. Gretchen Bleiler

 

Larry and I remarked at the end of last year that there are some fellow walkers that we no longer see on our morning walks.  Are they walking somewhere else? Have they moved? Are they no longer with us??

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. Andy Warhol

 

While we only know some by their first names, they are still part of the fabric of our lives. They have become part of what brings a smile to our faces every day.

I learned that life will go through changes - up and down and up again. It's what life does. Ben Okri

 

Change is hard for everyone no matter the age. In over 30 years here in Delray Beach, I have watched this beautiful Village By the Sea grow and rise in popularity.  But with that has come change that for many has been met with guarded caution.

Have a weekend embracing the changes in your life!

Good morning Kathy Streib ,

I love all the collection of quotes you used this morning. There are many transitions in life and the only way to address them is embrace them...with a smile and a grateful heart.

HI Kathy Streib - Another wonderful post that makes us ponder as Michael Jacobs would say.  If you scroll too quickly, you might pass by the picture with the killer whale spinning out of the water. You will really miss a special treat....thank you!

Hi Kathy,
So many transitions in life, aren't there, Kathy?  The small ones I call chapters. The big ones are like a completely different life.  I have a personal blog called My5thLife.  I haven't written in in for a while but have been thinking lately of reactivating it.

Sometimes I think the word mindfully is overused to the extent it begins to lose its effectiveness. It becomes a trendy word. I tend to think about everything and analyze all aspects of my life constantly so I am plagued with it, my cross to bear, so to speak, but to talk about it openly or expect other people to follow suit is odd to me.

I do like the thoughts in your blog today, Kathy. You will probably see a different experience in mine, LOL.

Kathy,

We welcome change in so many ways...and sometimes when looking out at the 360 perspective, I feel that we are not changing ourselves (all of us) fast enough...but then I realize that we are all doing our best...Your post brought back the memory of a Mammas & Papas song called Look Through My Window, here is a stanza,

We both knew people sometimes change
And lovers sometimes rearrange;
And nothing's quite as sure as change---
And the rain beats on my roof...

Kathy I can understand the questions and concern about the regular walkers you no longer see, I know I would be wondering the same thing.

Michael Jacobs they're inevitable so might as well embrace them. 

Wayne Martin  I don't always embrace it but in the end, I handle it ok. 

Brian England I always hope that wherever they are, they're ok. It seems odd not to see them anymore.

Donald Urschalitz very wise!!!!!   Stagnation is not good. 

Gabe Sanders I'm sure that the changes I see in Delray are good for future growth but you know how it is...we all get used to the way things are. 

Liz and Bill Spear absolutely!  Just last week I was scrolling through some old posts of mine and saw comments from members I haven't seen here in years.

Barbara Todaro I've never been fond of change for change's sake but the older I get, the more I accept it. 

Hi Myrl Jeffcoat thank you for the feature in your group!!! Glad you liked the photos. 

Grant Schneider we have to remember that life goes on.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD it is a part of life that will happen to everyone. Things change, people change and circumstances change. 

Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR you make an excellent point about having a grateful heart. Be thankful for what we've been given.

Will Hamm many do change where they walk. Just the other day a friend said he'd been mixing it up by walking at another beach. 

Thank you Sheri Sperry - MCNE® I wondered if anyone would notice it. Try the Lumyer app!  It's fun.

Carol Williams I think you're right. Some of our changes are small chapters in our life while others may as well be another book!

Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents I don't often analyze the deeper aspects of my life. Oddly enough, I'm more prone to analyzing others!

Ron and Alexandra Seigel You've made me miss the Mama and the Papas.   I'm going to have to pull up some of their music. 

George Souto just today at breakfast, we all wondered where the "sun lady" has been.

Kathy what great observations and indeed sometimes people change routines, walking is a great way to see the same people if you walk at the same time. I keep changing my routines...stop then  restart and different routes funny how the neighbors say to me "oh you are back to walking?", Endre

Morning Kathy.

Can't speak for everyone else, what I can say is that life and changes for me happen daily.  January is going to be a very busy month

I've never been a fan of change and have been slow to accept it on many counts. I'm getting much better and still a work in progress!
