Change

As my dear husband reminds me whenever I am flummoxed by events that modify my circumstances, “The only constant is change”. The world is always in flux. Change is life. We are not the same, day in and day out, because our lives are not static. We live in an ever-modifying world, shifting conditions and changing views. As we get older our bodies transform as do our wants and needs. Change brings growth even when we don’t immediately realize it. Change is a catalyst for learning about ourselves, others, and our world.

What I’m getting at is there is a change on the horizon with me and the A Way with Words blog. This is my last post as a regular blogger. With the permission of Sally and Jackie, I will occasionally be a contributor. Our friendship remains intact. I will always be grateful for their generous friendship and their mentorship. We spent many years learning to write together and now we are going separate ways as writers.

I established my own blog site Wonkagranny, a grandmother’s perceptions of the universe through stories, poems, and life observations. I will continue to write posts on that site.  I do not feel that I can maintain an effective presence on two blogging sites at the same time. I write short stories, poems, and essays that may or may not ever be published. Some of those will be linked on my Wonkagranny site. My past posts from A Way with Words are also archived on Wonkagranny.

I deeply appreciate all those who read and comment on our mutual website and I hope you will join me on my personal journey with words.

This is a photo of our grandson from eleven years ago when I began my Wonkagranny website. He was the inspiration. Talk about change! He is in high school now, nearly six feet tall, and still inspires me daily.
