Changes

Things change. People change. Faces change. I have heard that change is the only thing that is consistent in life. Changes may be bad, risky, negative. But they also can become good, healthy and positive again. I do not know how my supervisor at FRC is going to feel about this column, but being the sentimental person that I am … I am an introvert. I write much better than I speak. And I write from the heart. So, maybe Eloise will be OK with these words.
