Change...No so sure about this idea
People who know me know I handle change well. My father was in the army when I was little. My mother would come and tell us kids that Dad had orders and we were moving. There would be no crying from me, I would run and pack up my stuff and be ready to go. Then when I grew up I was in the Navy. Moving was not a problem. New place , new people , I was ready. I'm always changing my hairstyle if I get the same cut more than once I consider it amazing. I've lived in the same house for five years(the longest I've live in any one home in my lifetime)and I've redecorated the living room twice. Change for me has not be a scary thing or a sad one. I've always embraced it with glee and the thought of what was coming my way. But now... now I'm coming to a great change. A fork in the road, a whole life changing moment. One I can not slow down. My children are graduating High School and my office is moving. My world as I know it in a matter of months will be completely different. And by this time next year I won't even be living in the same place. For once my change embracer seems to be broken. Nineteen years of living with two wonderful people and it's about over. Oh I will see them and they will be with me over summers and breaks but in not the same way. So I'm standing here like a deer in headlights. Watching my life pass before my eyes as they go up to get their diplomas, willing my body to move but in this moment totally unable to. Change my dear friend can we talk later this week. Right now I want to just take moment to look back before I look forward again.
