Wow! Summer is almost over. Boy! That went way too fast. Now we have the change of seasons coming up (a.k.a. autumn) and then onto winter. Time really does fly by.

You would think that with all of these constant changes going on around us, we would be more open to the changes in our lives and gravitate towards new ideas and new experiences. Odd as it may seem, this is just not the case.

As a general rule, we love to stay the same. It's our comfort zone, our security blanket if you will. What is already known in our minds (good or bad) is safer than what is unknown to us which may seem scary and almost "life threatening". Keep in mind that this "life threatening" change might be as simple as getting a different hair style or going to a place, business or restaurant that we have never been to. Doesn't seem very "life threatening" on the surface, but deep inside your mind it can certainly be made to feel that way.

As a whole, change is good for us. It is how we learn and grow into better people. Changes let us experience new things. It gives us something new to share with our family and friends. For example, think of the trees that are all around us. Do you realize that they are constantly growing and changing? If they ever stop growing then they will start dying. The same is true for us. Think about it...

I am looking forward to some new changes in my life as well as at relax. Not sure what they will be, but what I am focusing on is finding an investor, a larger location with more foot traffic (like Janss Marketplace or the Oaks Mall) and hiring on support staff and more therapists. Again, not sure when or how these changes will happen but it is what I'm working towards.
