Transition
| Sometimes life flows smoothly like a great river. At other times, life resembles white water rapids. Worse, life may feel like a fragile raft rushing out of control from one jagged rock to another. |
| Some cultures celebrate these times of transition. |
| Think of your life as an interlinking chain. Each link is important; each connection is important. The transition periods in your life are where the links overlap. |
| The next major link in the chain is that of mid-life. |
| The onset of the senior years is usually marked in the west by retirement. |
