Inevitably in life we have a tendency to gravitate to that which we know and love. Anything that is contrary to that we fight and run from. I took a seminar once and it stated that 80 percent of people resist change. Then I read a quote that stated the only constant in life is …..what for it….CHANGE! So therein lies the quandary of sorts. How do you find the balance?
I sing in a Women’s choir at church and when they announced that our Minister of Music would be stepping down to operate in other functions at the church I wasn’t thrilled. Since then my need and desire has lessened to sing. I don’t know the new leaders, haven’t heard anything negative, just ughhhh another change. I’m over it. Plus I no longer have a vehicle and I loathe relying on others to get around. So I am benched, by choice, for now.
Did I mention I am not a fan of change. Its an interesting tidbit, because I’ve done so much of it in my past. I was born in Detroit, grew up in Syracuse then went to college in Virginia and now reside in Los Angeles. (I recently became a first time Auntie so chances are I will end up moving again to be closer to my nephew…unless I can convince my brother to come to the City of Angels. Working on the latter.) Seeing photos of this little guy being born is amazing! Never knew love like this before. A love that makes you want to be a better person knowing that this little person will rely on you for so much. I’ve seen my brother exhibit that kind of love towards his son and it has rubbed off on me. I have a newfound “why” to do all I can to ensure my nephew’s life works.
Maybe change isn’t so bad after all. Ummm we’ll see.
Ciao!
