Much of my journaling over the last 3 years has been about growth and major life changes. Changes in my circumstance, attitude, plans, reality and career came fast and furious for a while there.

These days, with the exception of the ever-changing landscape at work, things have mellowed out quite a bit. But change is still everywhere, all the time, and you notice it even more when you have a chance to catch your breath and observe it.

Me In The Yard

Lee took this picture of the tree in our front yard just a few weeks ago. It was much thicker and fuller and grown last summer, but we cut it back because a large portion of the leaves had grown in brown and sickly-looking. Cutting it back was our attempt at saving it. And so far, that attempt seems to be working:

Our Miracle Tree

A few weeks of springlike weather, including lots of rain, makes a big difference!

And then, of course, there are changes in the animal life around here. Remember this, from sometime in April?

Baby Sly 3

That little ball of fur now looks like this:

Sometimes, change is overwhelming and scary. But sometimes, it is just plain beautiful.
