Change Happens - Like it or Not!
Life Issues

We all experience change in our lives.  It is one of the constants we can depend on.  We view change as either good or bad depending on how it affects us.  We also look at change based on whether it is a change we want or not.  If we believe the change will be good for us or benefit us in some way then we will view the change as good.  On the other hand, if we do not see any benefit for us in the change then we view the change as bad and not necessary.  Also, if the change is forced on us then quite often we view the change a bad and, in one way or another, we resist the change.  We drag our feet, are slow to make the change in our lives, or just plain refuse the make the change.

One thing for certain, change happens in our life, with or without our permission.  The challenge with change is to understand what it is and view it as an opportunity to improve, grow, or learn something new.  Learning helps keep us young in spirit and improves our lives.  Isn’t that what we all want anyway?

 
What is "Normal?"

We all have our ideas of what “normal” looks like and yet there seems to be a difference of opinion among ourselves regarding the correct definition of “normal.”  Our idea of what “normal” is comes from our life; our family, our experiences, and what we have learned or been taught.
