This is a lesson I learned many years ago when as a young man I set out to change the world. I wanted to stop the war in Vietnam as well as end racism and poverty. These were all lofty dreams, but ultimately unattainable. I learned that to change anything, I must first change myself. Change begins at home and if I am lucky, I will be able to influence and impact a small part of the world around me.
This is a great reflection, Harley- I love the reminder. Change is indeed something we must take ownership of. Something that (hopefully) gets better and easier with age? Though I’m one of the least experienced people in this that I know of 😂. Hope you’re well in your neck of the woods? 🙏 -Thalia
Glad I have discovered you after all these years. I am now 91 and on Hospice so my changes are not going to be mostly in this world but the next. Glad I have discovered your writings.

Thanks, Thalia. I have also learned that we accept change more when we instigate it. We resist change when others attempt to make us change.
We had rain all day. Take care and thanks for stopping by.
