A Toast for Change

Sometimes we find ourselves dreading the future. Why is that? I believe that it is because we, as natural human beings, fear the unknown. Imagine if you were the first person ever to go to school, to get married or to have a baby. I think that would be a very interesting experience as well as a frightening one. At least we have someone who has done it before us, someone who can sort of give us an idea of what to expect.
Change is not a bad thing, in fact sometimes it is a very good thing. Some people thrive on change; often times they get bored without new circumstances to keep their attention. I am one of these people, I like change. But sometimes it can be a scary thing, because it is new and I am not sure what to expect from it. I am attending College up at BYU-Idaho in two weeks and I can tell you that the thought of it all is somewhat frightening but also exciting.
I am a little nervous because my circumstances are going to change from having a mommy always there to take care me to me having to take care of myself. Not an easy change; however I am still looking forward to it because I see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Mom and Dad will not always be there; that is simply not how it works. Change is inevitable so what we must do is take it in stride always having a good attitude.
I would also like to dedicate this blog to changing things in our lives for the better. This is America that we live in. We have the opportunity to change our lives and to move on to bigger and better things. Don't tell me that is impossible because I know that it is not. Things might seem pretty desperate at the moment but soon enough you will make it over that mountain and you will get to where the grass is greener. So let us make a toast for change, change for the better and live long and prosper.
