Sometimes we might ask if it's best to just sit. After all, it is the natural force of our lives to avoid change. This page is my reminder that change is often good, healthy and rewarding.

When I retired after 20 years with a local school district, I was certain that life was nearly done and new frontiers were to be avoided. I'm certain, during that last year before retirement at 54, I was dealing with depression. I know fear and feelings of loss existed. It was during this time I tried Xanax and resumed smoking cigarettes. It was a tragic period in my life when I yielded to fear, personal distrust and a doubting in God's plan for me. I was wrong.

These photos were taken after my retirement from the school district. They are my reminder that change is not to be feared. Sometimes change should be sought. I share them now to remind you of my mistake.
