WHAT NOW?

Time for a change? Not ready? Hate change?......

Everyday brings new changes and new challenges to our
lives and usually they are quite subtle, maybe just a
change in the weather that brings a change in the
temperature which causes us to change what we wear
and sometimes changes where we go and how we go
there. See we don't even really think about how much
changes around us until a bit more pressure is applied
and we have to stop and think about how we are going
to cope with the new changes.

Today I waved goodbye to my husband and son who are
away for the weekend with another father and son on a
hunting trip, my heart rejoices to know that we can have
the relationships that we do and that two of my favorite
men can go off and spend the weekend in this way, but
at the same time I had to address something else that
was going on in my heart, I had a momentary sense of
loss and a few tears when I remembered that when the
children were little, I always dreamed of days that I
would also go off with our daughter and do 'girl things',
and that is not to be in this lifetime.

Now normally I wouldn't share something like that but
I was thinking that this is a good place for me to come to,
that I would take that sadness out for a time and move
on and its okay.

I looked up other words for change and because of my
totally weird love of words, was pleasantly surprised to
find 104 other words to describe change, here are some
of them and what they meant to me in this situation.

Adjustment - adjusting myself to fit the current situation.
Advance - moving forward. (thats gotta be good!)
Correction - making right the situation for me.
Developing - growing stronger.
Enlargement - Whoa! I love this one.
Metamorphosis - Time to grow wings! Obviously!!!
Transform - make a thorough or dramatic change.

I love all these words because they show me that I am
making good decisions, but I must add some of the words
for change that I decided to discard today! haha
( the definitions are mine of course)

Tamper with - muck around with
Mutation - not part of what is considered normal
Evolve - makes me think I have no control over choices
Diminish - Make less
Flip flop - OH! What happened there?
Warp - Definitely odd.

See, We have a big part to play in how we let change
affect us. So, Whats on the Menu for Me for the
Weekend, Well I'm glad you asked.
Its Magazines, Movies (Gold Class @1pm), Massage,
PJ's, Choc, Chips, Wine and my beautiful girlfriend
