Change

Change can happen so fast. 
It is one of the things in life that literally every person must learn to navigate.  Some changes are more difficult than others. 
For example, a death can be devastating, even if it was expected.  And a death can include more than the death of a person or pet.  It could be the end of a job, a relationship, etc.   And depending on how things transpired it can be utterly shocking.  It is all a big change in your map of life.
For me, not saying it is good, bad, right or wrong, I put on my tuff armor and power through.  I go into survival mode.  I’m not a quitter or a “curl up in a ball” kind of gal.  But that’s just me.  Other people have their own ways of dealing with loss and change. 
I feel it is a bit more challenging when the change that happens had nothing to do with your actions or you.  It truly makes you question things. 
In the end you just have to duck and swerve and deal with things head on.  And with luck, you will learn new lessons, become more resilient and strengthen yourself.  Because truly, life is full of changes.  Some are wonderful and others send you reeling.  One foot in front of the other……….keep going.  Smile and keep going.  There’s a lot of life left to live!
