Our lives often represent seasons because they change, just as winter into spring and so on.
Usually we go about our business and gradually accept the changes of the seasons as they come and go quickly. The days become longer, then they become shorter again, one calendar page after another, year after year.
Every once in awhile, however, depending on where we live, we may experience a record season of extreme heat, ice storms, mega snow falls, or a drought. Sometimes it's hard for us to become accustomed to the major changes of that season. But we do.
We have what it takes, mentally and physically, to make the adjustments.
In our lives changes occur. We accept the changes, make adjustments and find a new way to move on. Those changes are often times for a better way. We may have felt we were caught in a tunnel that seemed to have a boulder at the end of it, and felt as though we could never push through. Just when we are exhausted from trying, a light in the tunnel shines through a crack and we are redirected to a new way.
Two years ago today at approximately 4 p.m., my husband and I were told to see a specialist for, what was to us at the time, a foreign description of a disease - swollen lymph nodes.

Two years ago today, the tunnel I found myself in was narrow and very dark. But it didn't last very long. God knew we needed to see a glimmer of light through the cracks that seemed to us as being sealed.
Bill and I promised we would be strong for each other. And we were. New doors were opening and shining light through every day. And yes, again I say, Bill was needed in heaven for whatever reason we do not know. But I do know that I am thankful for the ability to search with eyes opened wide for the next small crack and will push through until the light becomes, oh, so bright.
Today, my daughter Christina is making a move back to Pennsylvania. Her time spent here was short but, my goodness, it was without a doubt a positive step in her life. I am very glad to know that she sees light in the cracks. Doors will open wide for her, too.
Incredible how we are able to adjust to new beginnings. So very cool, to be honest.
May you have a wonderful day. If you happen to be experiencing extreme, unseasonable happenings in your life, I wish for you to open your eyes wide, see the light, then take a deep breath of new air and push that next door open. That's what I do! :)
Love and happiness to all
