Anyone who knows me well know I am not a big fan of change.. big change that is. But life sometimes throws you a curve ball and you must adapt. It is in the acceptance of change that we learn about ourselves. I am a very reactive person by nature ( don't like change see how that works) yet I am also very introspective, and can view a large picture or plan very easily.
So why this topic today? Change has come to my life at work, and at first I was crap that sucks. now having sat with it for a bit I am fine. The pluses as they are now out weigh the negatives. Change has also come back into my life with friendships, when one friend who I saw daily got an awesome job, she moved on to a great new position at work ( change here is not that I don't see her, it is the comfort of having her near by to enjoy life with daily..so proud of her by the way!) The other wonderful change is the return of one of my dearest kindred spirits to this side of the world, and hopefully within walking distance! So change no matter good or not so good - brings about anxiety at times for me...
the funnest thing about all of this... change is what I do for a living right now I am a Transition Coordinator ( you know the time between A to B - that is what I help people with)
Life is good, change is an essential part of making life that way...
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

I hate change too. And yet I ended up married to a guy who gets us sent to a new posting every couple of years! Every time we've moved I've made the conscious decision to make it a positive thing, but everything in me has resisted the change. But I can look back on every single posting and see why it was exactly the right thing for me, and for all of us.
Keep hanging in there. Even if change isn't fun, change is good!
funny how we all experience the same changes so differently! thanks for being proud of me! :)
