Inspiration Avenue Weekly Challenge-Change

When I chose the topic for this week's challenge at Inspiration Avenue, I realized that the only thing I could choose was "Change."  It seems like the most challenging opportunities for change occur whether we want them to or not.  I selected some quotes and images that I felt illustrated the challenge but I saved one for my digital collage.  You can view the post and the other entries here.
I really identified with all of the quotes I included but one seemed especially bittersweet.  

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.  Anatole France

  3. That's a very true quote. I love this and marvel that you've found a way to incorporate such vivid, bright colours when perhaps the quote would lead towards darker ones. There's sunshine beaming on you from somewhere, girlie. Sending you hugs from me and the Colonel xxxx - Shroo:)xxx
