Change Comes In All Shapes and Sizes

I guess God didn't want me to post what I just wrote. I believe he tells me what to write, and now what not to write. I was describing my depression over moving to a smaller house and being unable to sell the old house, which has been on the market for five months. Then, when I was almost finished typing the post, my screen went blank and I lost all I had written. So here goes again. I'll omit all my sad details and go straight to the quote I wanted to share.

"In time you come to learn that something is always coming. No road ever runs straight.... Even if everything continues, it will change, and you have to be willing to adapt to those changes.... Change can be tough, even when it takes you where you want to go.... 

"As a result, fear of change is present in every aspect of our lives. We dread the pain that could wait for us over the horizon, and we do everything we can to avoid that potential discomfort. That is why we quit our addictions and our vices only when the consequences of indulging them hurt us or others more than the pain of quitting them."

Leaving behind the lovely house where I lived for 35 years and raised two wonderful children has been hard on me. I needed to be more ready for such a giant change in my life. Lesson learned. Someday I will leave this house too -- either in a moving van or a pine box. I better be ready for the change.
