Change

This week I am studying about change. Life is constant change. That's a good thing. People change, hmmm not sure if that is good? When people change and our family and friends are not the person we used to know it can be hard. Many of my friends I have known for almost thirty years. Yeah, we've changed. During the past year I have thought a lot about how we have changed. I don't seem to relate to some of my friends any more, we have different views on life. That can be hard. But although things change, and people change, change is good.

I would like to believe that I have changed in positive ways. I have become aware of health care legislation and have began an interest in how politics affect not only health care, or me as a nurse, but everyone I know. This week I tagged along with my friend and met with Senator Morano about SB 99. And last night I spent time reading what Governor Strickland had to say in his state of the state address he made earlier that day. He talked a lot about change. I hope his changes have positive outcomes.

Although change is constant, some things will never change. I will always laugh until I cry with my friends, both old and new. I will never stop caring for someone because they have changed and I will value the people in my life for who they are and respect their differences and their changes.

Change is inevitable. I love to try new things and look forward to the many changes that lay ahead.

Spring will be here soon!!
