Change - it's not just those coins floating around in the bottom of your purse, gathering in the corners of the seams while you try to shake them loose, hoping to find enough money for the Coke machine so you can buy that Diet Co-cola you will most assuredly die without.
Change is scary. Change happens without our permission. Change is what we resist when one door closes and we put our backs up against the door that's opening and brace our legs and push for dear life. And the whole time we're keeping our eyes locked on the door that shut and praying that it will stay shut.
Change busts through, anyway, saying, "Hey y'all. I'm here. I sure could use a cool glass of that sweetened iced tea." Before we know it, change settles in, makes itself at home, and we can hardly remember when things were different (or we wonder why we didn't invite it over sooner), until, of course, it comes around letting itself in the back door.
We fear change, because we feel like we have no control over it. We fear change because it requires us to put effort into adjusting. We fear change because as bad as things are right now, we sure hate for them to get worse. We fear change because we don't think we can be any happier.
We fear change because it doesn't come at our convenience, when we're ready and waiting.

Change is something that never stops from the day we are born til the day we die. Changes are sometimes difficul but there are many that are joyful too. When I became a mom it changed my life for ever just as being a wife did. They just don't ever stop, but it's how we handle them that counts. 'On Ya'-ma
what a wonderful positive post...thx for sharing
So true. So many people drag their feet at accepting change, but you have to roll with the changes, not fight them. Change really IS inevitable!
I hate Change, I guess I'm set in my ways.

So true Katie!! One of the BIGGEST changes in my life has been hubby retiring. lol My neighbor told me today that her husband is retiring this coming Dec. I had to tell her I was sorry for laughing so hard. lol Hope you have a blessed week. Hugs, Janie
You hit the nail on the head. I feel sometimes that I would just like to hole up in my house and live in the present but it just does not work that way. Life is what it is, good or bad. Lucy
Change would be just fine with me if it would make this puter run faster.
YES you are so right. That is my whole life right now CHANGE every corner of it and I'm never ready for it. I wish I could deal with it easier and then there would be no problems I guess. I'm so set in the way my life WAS and is no more.
Excellent talk about change, Whatever it is it will change. It will be worse, it will be better but it will be different. Thank you.
