Before I even get into my thoughts on change…When the heck did a simple definition become 3 pages long. English has not been my strong area. I enjoy writing, but grammar and spelling have always been an area I have to work at. When looking for the definition of change, I typed it into google and dictionary.com came up… The first part had 8 different options (definitions) and then I scrolled down and there were tons more (more information than I needed).
So back to the "old school dictionary" I go…

And holy buckets – it’s a long one in the “old school dictionary” too.
Maybe that’s because change can happen in so many different ways…forced, influenced, growth, gained independence…
It’s a word that holds meaning in so many different ways.
People change, relationships change, careers change, lives change…
Sometimes change is good.
Sometimes scary.
Sometimes needed.
And sometimes it happens to you.
The past 4+ years I’ve been trying to deal with change. At first I had to survive… Then I tried to find a new sense of normal – changing this / trying that. Throughout, some change was good, some not so good, some downright terrible. I feel change has made me a stronger person, understand myself better and realize things may not fit, but a small change here or there will make them squeeze into place.
The one change that happened to me has made me embrace change on a different level. Take some chances and live in the moment, while embracing the past.
I am sitting here at my desk at school. My last day here. I’m excited to make the change and embrace a new path as I venture out on my own. But I am grateful for my time here…
Some changes are bittersweet.

… A little “Joe” Reminiscing…
Often I would find a note left on the kitchen counter stating, “Dear Harry,… Love, Lloyd”. One year Joe even surprised me and made Christmas stockings and instead of our names used our code names – Harry and Lloyd. Why we fell in love with this movie (Dumb and Dumber) - well I am sure there are many of us out there wondering why. But I know one person upstairs who is probably driving everyone else NUTS reciting lines in preparation for the release of Dumb and Dumber To. I can’t wait to watch it! And what are the chances one of the main photos they have used to advertise the movie includes a buck….Makes me think :).
