CHANGE

"They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. ~Confucius"

In case you all are wondering, I was meddling with the settings of my blog when I accidently (1) locked the access (2) deleted the blog. Backed by popularly demand from 1-2 regular readers, the Pumpkin has made her comeback. Confucious' philosophy above came to mind when I was struggling through the emotion I felt when this happened.

Imagine if something went really wrong, and you had to change the way you do things. Imagine if someone you care about asked you to change the way you do certain things. Imagine if things have been great all these years, and suddenly it changes. How would you deal with those changes?

About 2 years ago, a disaster happened in my life that I was never prepared for. Being a disaster, like others, I sought God's help in dealing with the entailing pain and suffering, picked myself up and went on with my life. And now, when the total opposite occurs, I still say that I was not prepared for it! SIGH. As human beings, we have a tendency of not being mentally prepared for anything! The truth is, we are made to adjust and to cope with all the changes surrounding is.

My take on Confucious' saying is.... if we continously change (for the better), we should experience happiness and wisdom as we go along. Moral of the story - I accidently deleted my blog so I could come back with a better picture of a Pumpkin =o)

Zewt - Many of us did! haha

Cirnelle - I loved the one u picked for me, and actually, I was trying to search for it when I reconstructed the blog. Then I realised, when we lose something, we tend to use the old one as a benchmark for replacement. But we open ourselves up to options, we could ones which could love similarly but appreciate from a different angle.
