New Shoes
I hate to buy
new shoes.
Old shoes are
comfortable friends
on whom one
can always depend.
While new shoes,
like new experiences,
are built on that
ephemeral commodity
called hope.
Comfort Level
We have all had times in our lives when everything is going well and we feel so comfortable that we don’t want anything to ever change, but eventually just as old comfortable shoes don’t last forever, we must inevitably move on to something different, and make the adjustment to whatever new challenges we might encounter.
There is no way we can stop this cycle from old to new. The best we can hope for is to trust that with time and effort and courage we will eventually be able to cope and adjust to the new demands required of us.
Man must prepare for every event of life,
for there is nothing that is durable.
Menander of Athens
It is not the strongest of the species that survive,
nor the most intelligent,
but the one most responsive to change.
Charles Darwin
