Changes

I am fond of saying that change - even when it is good change - is difficult.

Because it's different.

New.

Uncomfortable.

Like new jeans that haven't stretched or been washed -
they are stiff and just a bit too tight.

But they're new.

And that's good.

They just need some wearing to become comfy.

And that's true of anything new in our lives.

                    Clothes

                                        Jobs

                                                            Relationships

                                                                                Schools

                                                                                                    Cars

                                                                                                                        Houses

If it's new - different - it takes getting used to to really feel good.


Even when it is a dream-come-true!

We crave normalcy.

And when we don't have it, we are a little bit lost.

Even when the old normal isn't better, just familiar.

And the more change one has experienced, the harder it is to adjust to the new normal.

And that's okay.

Adjustment is part of life.

And life is for living not just existing in the familiar!


 

Hello new normal.

Welcome!
