Change is very hard
on everyone.
Not many people deal
with it well.
One of the tactics
I find helpful
is
to look for the parts
that stay the same.
Everything might feel
like it is changing.
But it isn’t.
There are pockets of similar.
We merely have to look
for them.
For example,
our household got its first
new-to-us electric vehicle
this month.
The car we bought
is very different
from the cars we’ve been driving.
There is a lot of change.
But plugging it in every night
reminds me
of how we’d plug in our cars
with block heaters
every night during the winters
when we lived in a cold, snowy place.
That similarity is comforting.
We know how to do that.
It isn’t a ‘change’ for us.
During times of extreme change,
look for the similarities.
