Change is all around!

Change.
It's good, it's productive, it's scary, it's harmful or beneficial, it's a great way to grow, it's many things....it's change.
I spent the weekend participating in graduation festivities as some close friends took this huge step in life. I clearly remember the feeling of all of the sudden being finished with school, having the diploma, and thinking oh shi%! Anyhoo, although I still consider myself in the "transition" stage of becoming an adult, it becomes increasingly comfortable with time. The whole journey of figuring out who I am and who I want to be is an exciting one. If no change took place in life, you'd still be the same person you were in elementary school...or even worse, middle school! (ahh head gear and braces!)
I stand by the fact that although change can be one of the scariest things in life, it's also one of the best and most exciting aspects.
All of you about to step out onto scary uncharted paths, you will do wonderfully! Keep your chin up, enjoy the journey, and don't forget to come back and visit! :-D

  • Phan, every time I check your blog and see your heading I get that David Bowie song "Changes" stuck in my head:

    "Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
    (Turn and face the strain)
    Ch-ch-changes
    Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
    Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
    (Turn and face the strain)
    Ch-ch-changes
    Where's your shame
    You've left us up to our necks in it
    Time may change me
    But you can't trace time."

    If you look it up on iTunes you may recognize it. It's an oldie. Ahhhh, it's stuck in my head again! *kicks door*

  • Emily's comment reminded me of Homer Simpson's spoof on that song:

    "Ch-ch-ch-ch-changin'
    Time to change the oil,
    don't wanna be an oily man..."

    Not like that had anything to do with anything...

    Anyways, I just wanted to tell you thanks so much to both you and Hopper for stopping by my open house on Saturday! It was so great to see you two. Thanks for the notes also, and the artwork. :P Hope to see you soon!
