Changes are hard, and the older we get, the harder it is to make changes. But let's face it. Trying to fight change is an effort in futility. It's much better to roll with the changes and make the adjustments needed.
That's where I am. Rolling. Making adjustments.
We're finishing up our second week of school today, so life is getting a little smoother. I have four trips each day to two different schools, so I'm on the road for short periods of time. When I head out on the two afternoon trips, I leave early and take something with me to read, edit, or sometimes I even play games on my Kindle, if I feel I need a real break. It's quiet time for me, something that's in short supply in the summer. I like quiet time. ☺
We're even having to adjust to weather changes. We started the summer with hot and dry. In July, we finally had rain to ease the drought of the last few years. That rain picked up and ran into August. At the halfway mark of this month, we'd had two days when it didn't rain. It got a bit soggy. Now that we're nearly done with August, it's hot and dry again. I have no doubt that will change.
While we don't always like changes, we'd get bored without them. Beginning something new, finishing something old, and looking forward to more new things keep us going. And isn't that what we want? To keep on going?
Have a blessed end-of-summer, and roll with the changes it brings.
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. - Alan Watts
