We all know only one thing is certain in life. That would be change. Every year you get older. The weather changes on a whim. The grocery store doesn’t have your favorite sports drink in stock. All sorts of things are constantly changing, and we have no control over that.
Now, yes, ultimately you could say that there are things that change in our life which we have control over, but I would say very little control. And in more cases than we care to think about, we have very little control over those variables, but I digress.
Right now we’re sitting in that change between summer and fall, and quite frankly I wish the fall couldn’t come soon enough. I’m ready to do away with the crazy high temperatures and humidity that never ends, though that pretty much never goes away here.
Personally, I like change. More specifically, I like variations to my normal day-to-day, mostly since that’s quite frankly what I’ve learned to expect. The same basic structure with a few tweaks thrown in for a bit of variety. Usually nothing too outlandish, but just enough variables tweaked that It keeps me on my toes.
The change I’m gearing up for now is much more life-changing, but happens every day. Bringing a new life into the world is a change that from my little bit of understanding everyone says they’re ready for, but no one really ever is. From my observations, most feel obliged to say they’re ready, but they have no idea what to expect besides the unexpected. That’s exactly what I’m prepared for. I have no idea what life is going to look like except to say that I expected to be more sleep-deprived than I’ve ever been, and fully enjoy it more than I can even imagine.
I say that having been sleep deprived before. I’ve gone multiple days with little-to-no sleep. This time though will be under an entirely different set of circumstances. It might not necessarily be that I go days without sleep, but I know my sleep schedule will definitely be irregular for longer than I can expect. Quite frankly, I have very few expectations when it comes to what my schedule is going to be like. The one certainty is there will be change.
Yep, back to that word. Change. Things and people will shift. My focus will change. My priorities will change. My world view may very well change. How I do some things will change. Phew. That’s a lot of change. And I don’t doubt that even more things than I can think of will change. So there. I’m gonna leave it at that.
Change…is coming…’Til next time…
