Running With The Wind
(PSB – Yesterday When I Was Mad)
Have you ever been back to you where you grew up after a long absence and not recognize a single thing? Commercial development has replaced all the small town houses and fields that you remember so clearly with big buildings, malls and parking lots. It’s almost as if your memories were erased right before your eyes.
That’s what change does -- it alters the landscape of your own familiarity. It forces you to create new associations between you and your new environment.
We’re approaching that time in our lives where everything and anything could change in a moment’s notice. You can’t see it yet but its presence is overwhelming. It forces you to acknowledge it, if not fear it.
How do you prepare for the winds of change?

You read the book titled "Who Moved My Cheese"
No I haven't read that book. Should I? :)
I read it in bits and pieces whenever I go to the library. You could probably read it in one sitting. It's very cute and quick to read. It's about 4 mice. :)

Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice--nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found.
- take lots of pictures.
