I need to wrap my brain around change. Usually I really like it. I'm having a hard time enveloping it this time. How can I relate this to past events? What changes that I have encountered unexpectedly worked out for the best? Moving to Texas. Starting piano lessons. Accepting humble life goals - simplifying my idea of success (not lowering, but simplifying). Overcoming anxiety - this is a big one. Bigger than I give it credit for. I was ready to accept a certain amount of anxiety in my life as a given. I wasn't even aware enough to understand that it was something that could be overcome. This meant big, overwhelming change. Also, joining my church. It was sooooo time for me to be more aware of the world. Life is not my small life. Life is bigger than even the world. My church helps me stay grounded in everything. The point is that I know it's there and I just don't see it yet. The thing that I am missing will help even if I never recognize it for what it is. That and time. Time heals all wounds. This too shall pass. Know that it is there. That I already have it.
