I actually embrace change. I have lived through so much of it in my life. I challenge myself to adapt and grow through changes and I look for them rather regularly throughout the canvas of all that I do.

Naturally, change is constant. I don’t believe there is a day that I do not experience something or things that will change. Something is different, someone is gone, I have seen something in a new light… it’s all change. Some of these things will disappoint, of course… but for the most part I am absolutely sure that the moment of recognition is most often the pinnacle of the reaction.

From the simplest of things, such as starting a new software experience or taking a new route while driving, to the most complex such as suffering a major loss, changing a job or moving to a new residence, change defines who we are each step of the way. I have known some drastic shifts not only in perspective but in reality throughout my years and what I have learned is that they all shape me, help me grow and challenge me to add layers of knowledge and strength to my mind and personality.

I am enriched by the changes and I am always exciting for the possibility.

What I discovered (or perhaps RE-discovered) recently is that knowing that change is coming but not having any idea what it truly means is what gives me the anxiety. There is a part of me that feels like I am in a stranglehold while wondering what the outcome is going to be.

Once the picture is revealed I am fine. The change could appear daunting… it could be a bit scary or it might even feel unacceptable…. but even when it is not desired there is the choices we can make for an alternate outcome that would still provide us with change after all. It doesn’t take long before the changes that seemed so big are common place and making room for the changes that will arrive and become a part of the next phases down the road.

I have been looking for changes in my life. I am starting to see how some could potentially play out. They are not scaring me… they are not disappointing me… they are not honestly phasing me. It’s all in a days life experience. How will they continue to play out? Lots of time will tell. Will they play out as they seem to be in front of me today? Perhaps. I might be intuitive but I am not psychic.

Whatever they are I will handle them and continue the life education.

Be Happy. Be Well. Be.
