The only thing in life that stays the same...

The only thing in life that stays the same is that everything in life changes. Some changes are small, some big, some good, some bad, and some changes are impossible to quantify.

Do you remember the day you moved out of your parents' house and got a place all your own? Maybe with a room mate, maybe not, but still being independent and totally self-sufficient. Well, I don't remember that because I went straight from my parents' house to married life. Now, in my mid-forties, I find myself learning to be independent. True, I have a teenage son living in the house, but for the first time in my life I'm the only head of the house, the person solely responsible for everything. And it's a bit overwhelming.

I haven't decided if this change is good or bad - probably a lot of both. It's definitely going to be a challenge.
