[excerpt]

I was actually excited for a moment at the possibility of change.

Although life is about “change and stability,” and as much as I wish it to remain stagnant, I have to allow the river of life to take its course.

I realize no matter how many pebbles I throw in, or how many dams I build, life will find a way.

And because I cannot change the course of life, I know that I can change my outlook of it. I can either sulk (which is what I normally do) or I can embrace it.

And yes, I thought, “Change will do me good.”

I am ready for it.
