Ready for change

Transition to Retrement

Sometimes when you're ready for a change and you kind of know it but won't admit it, when it comes, not only are you surprised, but it hurts. Change is the only constant we have in life, but change is not always pleasant and not always welcome. Easy to say that we should accept change into our lives but very hard for some of us to do.
I just watched the last episodes of the Big Bang Theory ( A TV situation comedy) and read a story about why one of the lead characters had decided to leave the show. He said, it was time and I knew it was time. The producers said when he told them he was leaving, they realized that they could not do the show without the character, so they ended the series. Sometimes we just know we are ready and we need to move on, but when we are faced with the reality of doing that it hurts. As I watched the actors talking about the show, and how much they would miss it, they were upset. Change can make us upset but once the change occurs life goes on and we, having come through the change become better for the change.
Yeah, I know that doesn't help much unless you remember the "ready" part. Because there is simply no change that might ever transpire in time and space that happens before you're fully able to use it for your own growth and glory.
Love watching you create, as you move on to the goals and aspirations that make you a better person. Life is good and always better than the alternative.
