Hi friends, its been a while. Wow! Summer is coming to an end and there is a gentle awareness of fall in the air. Do you feel it? Can you smell it?

I was thinking how things are changing once again and it made me think of the cycles in our lives. Life is full of shifting phases and cycles. The tide comes in and the tides go out. Winter's harshness gives away to summer's delightful charm. Sometimes we lose a spouse, a friend, only to find a new and more meaningful relationship or friendship. It's an amazing process, this thing called life, though it can be bitter sweet at times. Just when you are broken down and you think you can't take it anymore, the tides can shift and you find new life and optimism gushing forward, causing you to forget about your past and relish in exciting possibilites of the futue.

Accepting the cycles and rhythms of life brings with it maturity and wisdom. In order to make it SIMPLE, we must honor the whole cycle of life and not lament at the phases when the tides are going out. Instead we should TRUST THE WHOLE PROCESS and learn to cherish the times when the tides come in, bringing with them new life and new refreshment. For just as surely as the tides go out, they will return again. And who knows what they will bring in, maybe even richer, more abundant life and untold treasures?

We have to remember the great conductor of life knows what's going on always. He sees much further into the future than any of us are able to. He knows what's in our best interests. Just because at certain moments of your life the tides are going out, or things are ending or being taken away, doesn't mean he loves you any less. Sometimes he has to take away the present, to return to you a brighter future. So whenever the tides are going out, hold on and brace yourself, cause when the tides come in, as I promise you they will, they may sweep you off your feet. Don't be discouraged, don't despair, but SIMPLY TRUST THE PROCESS and phases of life. Remember, when the tide comes in, they always bring new life, adventures and new beginnings.
