LOVE NOTES AFTER DARK

The seasons are changing. Will you change with them? I’m sitting at the coffee shop today and seeing all different walks of life. A couple on their first date, old friends meeting for a drink and conversation, some reading and doing work. Here I am, with two friends of my own, let’s call them Macy and Coraline. Coraline is following her childhood dream of being a Dental Hygienist and finishing up school work for it. Macy is in the middle of discussing a situation she has going on with a boy and needing advice on it, and I am thinking about how the leaves are falling and we are getting prepared for yet another winter. Fall always reminds me how resilient trees are. They shed everything away, are bare for a while, slowly start to grow again, which then turns into a full blossom. This cycle then repeats over and over. In a lot of ways, we are just like them. How many times have you started over? How many times will you again? I feel I’m on the verge of major changes in my life, a potential new career, new passions that have sparked in my life, leaps of faith I’ve been taking. My friends as well, with Coraline starting school and pursuing something she has been dreaming of, Macy potentially taking the ultimate plunge of falling in love, and the countless people in the coffee shop who I presume are on the verge of some big changes in their lives too. So the question remains, will you? I hope you do, because I am confident that just like the trees, you will bloom again.
