Spare Some Change? (from David)

It has been a year of change, change and more change. I've always found it difficult to gracefully adapt to change. Usually I try to fight it, hide from it or just wish it would go away.

Today I can actually embrace change as something positive in my life. It usually means that I am growing or evolving. It is an opportunity to stretch and learn something new. Or more often, how to do something better and in a more healthy way.

For example, I was recently moved to another jail outside of NC. It was pretty stressful and I didn't deal with the stress well at first. I was emotional and feeling a lot of self pity. But rather than wallow in it, I talked to people about it, took a risk and managed to come out of it quickly and only having to apologize to Lisa once. That's progress! And I apologized within hours of the infraction!

So, I say let's look for change and welcome it, not run from it. Change makes the world go around.

God bless,
David
