CHANGE!

This month is full of graduations and weddings. School years are ending. Summer is beginning. It all means CHANGE. Now, change to some folks is good. But others see change as painful, difficult, scary.

When my son was a toddler, I would change his crib sheets or later his toddler bed sheets, and every time I did he would scream and cry, painful wracking sobs. This was a child who did not like change. When I was a kid I moved my furniture in my room weekly. I was a kid that looked forward to change. When my husband and I dated, he decided we would not eat at the same restaurant twice for an entire year. I'm not sure I was fully on board with that change. Probably because he decided it. But that's a whole other issue. Still, it was good trying new things. But at times I wanted cheese enchiladas from my favorite restaurant. So then that made the no-restaurant-twice-pact a bit annoying.

With all these graduations lately though, change has taken on a little bit different meaning for me. My nieces are grown. My kids are rapidly growing up. And I'm getting old. Okay, old-er. So maybe change isn't as appealing as it once was. But how do you like change? Do you see it as positive and exciting or the exact opposite?
