A Melancholy Lament
#31
Well folks one thing for sure - nothing ever stays the same. Never! Change is constant in our lives - we age and can't stop it. Things wear out and get broke which end up needing replacement or be tossed out.
Either your look at change as a challenge and look how to make it work for you, and live with it, or get grumpy, put a line in the sand and say I have had enough.
Those unwilling to change do get left behind.
While I admit I don't like changes once I have gotten so comfortable with what I was doing - I learned long ago to accept change, As it did me no good to complain - gave me a sour stomach - started loosing friends - what few I had, etc.
And the older I get the more things Change as a much faster pace.
So I look at Change as a positive challenge in life for what I have left - and find ways to make it work for me. Which leaves me with very fond memories of the "Way it Was!".
And from that I have had many positive new experiences...... both good and bad but have learned from both.
Old dogs can be taught new tricks - You are never too old to learn! And if one doesn't agree most times they are grumpy old men.....who live in the past but are missing a very bright future.
The new forum has turned away a few, and we had one who quit. But as of late I have seen some new posters. New voices to the lot. So for me it is a positive change.
