Seasonal Changes and Personal Adaptations

No matter what part of this planet you inhabit, changes in season must be an annual feature. It is more dramatic in certain parts of the world, and less dramatic in others. If you live in the tropical and sub-tropical zones, seasonal variations may be limited to dry and wet seasons, with the accompanying temperature changes, which are far from being drastic. I never had a real preference for either when I lived there. It would rain cags and dogs at certain times, and it is very dry and dusty at the other end of the spectrum.

Changes in seasons are much more dramatic in the temperate regions where I now reside. Spring, summer, fall and winter are just so distinct and you can really feel it. My favorite is spring.... I love plants and gardening. Summer is too warm for my liking, but not to be compared with fall. Why do I not like fall so much? Well, that is when the plants start to lose their leaves, and fall heralds the coming of winter :(   Old man winter, when the days and short and the nights are long

My adaptations to winter? Well, what do you do when it is cold....... ? Just chill :). It is a lot easier to work at academic stuff in winter, so I just immerse myself in work. Hopefully, the kids show up for the holidays.

Changes are inevitable
Changes must happen, and they do. I want to use this blog to discuss changes that happen in everyday life. Some we like, and some we don't. Some of the topics discussed will include
1. Changes in location- as immigrants, of which I am one

2. Changes in marital status. Hopefully, if you are not married, you may want to, and if you are married you stay so

3. Changes in job status. Getting a new employment, and hopefully, not being booted out of one

4. Changes in health status. How do people cope with changes in health

5. Changes in age! Hey, if you are young, you must grow old. The reverse never occurs :)
And many, many other changes which do occur or must occur.

What are the reactions of people to changes? How do you handle changes?
                             Do you do so passively or actively?
                                          Positively or negatively?


This blog will address these and other questions in more details as time goes on. Join me!
