If you read my post on Celebrating Change, you know that I love a constant stream of change.  I welcome constant change because I am afraid of being that woman who wakes up at 40 years old and says "oh crap, what have I done with my life other than live it for everyone else?"  and decides to go skydiving.  So every day must be skydiving adventure for me.  My poor husband.

Change feeds my soul.  The concept that despite how great (or not great) life is in this present moment, things can always get better.  I welcome that change.  I welcome the subtleties of this change.  I love the contrast between the transition and the end result.  The transition never looks hopeful in that instant.  Then all of a sudden, the desired outcome appears seemingly out of nowhere!  This is my favorite beauty.
