As life changes, one has to update the rules of the road forward. You have to take note of the changes around you and what's best with regard to your reactions and actions relative to those changes.
As I think of this, I am thinking of a number of changes.
First, what was of interest to some only a year ago is no longer of interest to them now. That means change in conversation--those people are no longer interested in talking about matters that interested them in the recent past. Hence a need to update the questions and conversation to keep the relationships fresh, current, and positive.
Also with regard to events, events that interested and were accessible to some in the past are no longer interesting or accessible, hence a change in events. Rethinking get-togethers and what we do together.
And money spent--dollars spent on events and purchases in the past may be money wasted today since those events and purchases are no longer valued--time to rethink the budget and ways of spending money.
Holidays will change too--with lives and places changing, there's an impact on the timing, location, and events related to the holidays.
In many ways, it's a significant time of change in my life. The people around me have made significant changes which means that I need to make changes to in order to keep the relationships, joy, and meaning fresh and timely. Onward.
