An ever changing life

I have always had an attraction to the cherry blossom and I never knew why up until recently. It's the national flower of Japan. It is an extremely delicate flower with a very short life period. Right after the flower fully blooms it falls, dying at the height of its life. To the Japanese this represents the delicate nature of life itself and the natural time for all beautiful things to end and there is a need for constant change in nature.

As I face a challenge in my life. I have chosen to face this in a very different way. Normally I am very pessimistic, but as this very important time in my life may or may not be coming to a close I want to look at things in a more positive light. This part of my life has been amazing and when I thought things were at their best it was quickly yanked out from under me and now I have to face the task of moving forward. As I can see from the flower things have ended at the height of this period in my life but there is a time for all things to end and even if things aren't coming to a close I do know that they will never be the same (ie change)

Every moment good or not is a part of life and one that will bring change and hopefully for the better. Enjoy it or endore it because in its the right time it will pass. All challenges can be looked at in 2 ways. Either they're there to be in your way and make life difficult or they are there to make you better as you practice your patience and any other skills you need to develop to get through it. So yeah right now my heart hurts and almost everyday is a struggle to face but I'm going to take the higher road. I know that I am loved by my Heavenly Father and my family and that this can only make me a better person.
