Sometimes change is scary. Sometimes it’s exciting. Sometimes it is a little of both. I’m not exactly sure how or why or what, but I have a feeling some changes are in store for the Evolving Family. Do you ever feel like that? That something is coming your way but your just not sure what it is?
I think for the most part I am wavering between trying to figure things out and just going along for the ride. Some days the planner in me wins out and I feel like I must try to figure out all the possibilities. Stay one step ahead of the game. Some days I jut know that no matter what happens life will still be good. No matter what Luke, Maddy and I ride changes out together and that’s all that matters.
So here is the question, how do you cope with impending changes?
Do you plan for all the possibilities and try to stay ahead of the game? Do you go with the flow and make decisions as then choices arise? Do you avoid it all and hide in the closet?

The best thing I can do is own the change. I cannot control change, but I can control how I deal with it. In a crazy kind of way by owning the change I control it does not control me. Our destiny moves across the endless sea without us controlling the rudder yet we still get to our individual destination.
What a delicious circle huh.
A river bubbles up out of the ground and cascades down a mountain side. It encounters obstacles, large rocks, tree roots and deliberate blocks, and often plunges into the unknown. It rests quietly as it navigates meadows and fields and rushes quickly through dark canyons. Its life is controlled chaos.
I prefer to live like the river, ever watchful and trying to be prepared maybe even building a block here and there, but going with the flow.
I am a “go with the flow” kind of gal. Then, once I realize what those changes are and how much work is involved, I often become the “hiding in the closet” gal. š
