Change is Good

Change can be scary and it can be good. I know that a lot of these posts lately are dealing with change. As single parents we are not unfamiliar with change, our whole lives became about change when we became single parents. This year, for my family, is all about change and new beginnings. I hope that includes the kids getting more in touch with their father, but that is out of my hands and my control. I leave that in God's very capable hands. Like I leave a lot things that are out of my control.

So much has changed lately. Some good and some sad. For example it was pointed out to me that a friend of mine can't just call up and say, "Hey lets go to the movies or meet me at _____ for lunch," and for a second that made me sad. However, it also means that this friend misses me. Which puts a big cheesy smile on my face. It is good to be missed.

We are learning to navigate around a new area. Establishing new routines and making new connections. So instead of shying away from change, embrace it. Believe it or not, I am not a very social or outgoing person. I am very introverted, okay maybe not as introverted as the girl in the Disney movie my son just watched called Radio Rebel, but definitely an introverted personality. After 35 years perhaps it is time to shed the introverted and embrace the extroverted. Every introvert personality has some part of their personality that is extrovert and vice versa.

There are so many things I have to figure out as far as scheduling and getting a job, but I am not worried, because so far all things have pretty much fallen into place where this move has been concerned.

You can always start small where change is concerned. Paint your room a bold color. Go to the salon and get a new hair color. Your change can be as big or a little as you want to make it.
