Seasons Change 

Dear Editor,

We are entering into a different season in America. It’s not a season everyone likes or voted for but the season is changing. For some it’s better, for some it’s worse. For some it’s good news, for some it’s bad news. 

Your perspective colors your season. For example, if you love Autumn then you have enjoyed the current season in much of America. You haven’t enjoyed it if you’ve been in the path of a hurricane but you’ve enjoyed it if you live in most any other place in America, We’ve had a dry

Fall season but it has been beautiful. Many dread the winter months, while some welcome cool weather over the long months of dry hot weather. If you live in Southern Arizona, you are ready for some cooler weather. 

Political seasons are hard on our nation. We’ve been immersed in political advertisements for months. The Presidential campaign has gone on forever. We are so ready to move forward.  For many in America this doesn’t feel good while others think it’s great. 

Seasons come and seasons go. No season lasts forever. There is always a new season around the corner. It’s best for all of us if we can make the best of whatever the season of life is at the time. Winter or Summer, make the most of the season. Youth or old age, they pass by so enjoy your season. Small children or adult children, love them and roll with the seasons. Young parents or old parents, roll with the seasons. Making great money or making less money, roll with the seasons. 

Try to make the best of your current season in life. It’s not always easy. We don’t like the seasons of life when we are sick or even dying. Some seasons are difficult and even harsh and cruel but they come to us all if we live long enough. So, enjoy the good seasons, tread water or make the best of what seems to be a bad season because in time in some way the season will change.
