How do you deal with change in your life? I have been bombarded with changes recently. One thing, I used to have a license to drive, now Anna Ruth is the driver, bless her. I drove since I was 16 – that was 74 years ago. Ugh! Now I sit on the passenger side! A change indeed. I like to be in charge. That has, I do believe, been of my life’s needs. To sit and pray for Anna Ruth as she drives is something new!
My red blood cells are trying to get stronger, hopefully! Every two weeks I get some kind of a shot to help on that, like today. How do I view changes in health at this age – 90?
I have resigned from most of my work assignments. That is a change, now who am I? I am discovering the answer to that! It is all a bit jolting.
Transitions are challenging, especially living with little means to help others, or myself.
For me, this is new. I need to get used to the fact that I am like others my age! Why should I not feel the changes that come from growing old? At least I am pressing on with life, welcoming each day as a day of learning, knowing that I am in the hands of God which means I am safe beyond telling. Oh, Lord, teach me how to be content when changes hit!
