CHANGE: Free Write Day 26

START

 

Before

 

After

 

. . . and everything in between.

 

Change rarely occurs without a lot of “in between”.

 

A lot of choosing—and choosing again.

 

We often think of “befores and afters” being things that go from bad to good, don’t we?

 

From inferior to positive.

 

Weight loss. Improved health. House renovation. Transformed lives.

 

I love those!

 

But what about when the change is from positive to negative?

 

From stable to unstable.

 

Divorce. Illness. Death.

 

Those are “befores and afters” too.

 

Change is simply part of life — but it’s rarely simple.

 

Change is hard, time-consuming, sometimes unwanted. How it affects us is often tied to whether or not we embrace it.

 

STOP

 

How do you respond to change? Are there changes you welcome? What change is hardest for you?
