A Necessary Guest

They say sadness often arrives before change. For some of us it can be a welcome even comforting feeling in that the grief, the denial, the hurt we buried for so long hoping for a different outcome is finally released. With sadness we are set forth in a sea of change.   Sometimes it’s  change  that’s causing  the sadness  but we  have an opportunity.  We can become courageous. Change is often for the better.  The journey to its creation is sometimes  filled with tears, misgiving, regret and then hope, clarity, insight, growth and action.
