Change. You're totally welcome here.

Change.  Why are we so afraid of it?  Everything changes.  That's what life and growing up is all about.  You go from depending on your parents for your every need to providing for yourself.  Then you're not just providing for yourself...you're providing for your family.  Everything at one point or another changes.  So...why does it literally rock our world sometimes when it happens to us?  I've gone through lots of changes these last few years.  Hair color, jobs, friends, living arrangements, etc.  Some changes were good.  Great even.  And - some not so good.  A hair color called "Paint the Town Red" comes to mind.  Hahaha.  Just picturing that bright red color on my head makes me laugh every single time.  But - I made it through alright.  I might have a few scars but at the end of the day...after all is said and done...I can honeslty say it was ALL worth it.  Every.  Single.  Decision.  It's made me who I am today.  I like who I am and who I'm becoming.  Well...for the most part.  ;o)  I'm learning what's important to me.  I'm learning what I'm willing to make sacrifices for.  I'm not saying I'm perfect.  NOT AT ALL.  I'm a work in progress.  I hope I always am.  Always learning.  Always changing.  Giving in and allowing the Lord to take control and mold me into the woman He created me to be.  That's what I want.  So...change isn't always bad.  It catches me off guard every time.  But - that's okay.  I'm learning to deal with it correctly.  You almost have to welcome it.  Change is good.  It's healthy.  It's necessary.  It just happens.  No need to freak out!  Just take deep breaths.  Hahaha.  I've been there. It doesn't do anyone any good to have a big emotional deal about it.  That just makes people think you're crazy!  :o)  You just kind of have to learn to let it roll off your shoulders.  No biggie.  Don't sweat it.  Before you know it...you'll be laughing at the way you reacted to it.  And - wondering why is was such a huge deal in the first place. I think a lot of the time we're just so terrified that our lives literally can't get any better than they are right now.  Or - we're afraid it's just going to get worse.  If we'd just learn to let go of it all...then our lives would be so much easier!  Oh, my gosh.  For real.  Do hard things. Let go.  Welcome changes!  You just might learn to love it!  :o)

Oh, hello change!  Come on in!  You're totally welcome here!
