New vs. Old - Change

Going through some transitions at work right now. Have new responsibilities, but working in the same area. The transition though may take a while, so for now doing both old things (waiting to turn them over) and working on new things trying to get up to speed.

It got me to thinking about the difference between comfortable, old, known, static vs. new, unknown, challenges, change. Some people get furniture and place it in their living room and never move it. Or at work, how bad would it be to do exactly the same thing year after year after year? Some people come home for the day and have dinner and watch TV and go to bed and get up the next day and do it all over again, how boring!

Are you willing to do new things, how exciting. Learning new things, trying out challenges you never knew existed? Changing your routine? Move the furniture in your living room and take a new view of the world just from your window! Change in all areas of your life can be good and positive!

Now you could look at my last post and realize that I have been with the same great woman for over 2 decades and some might say 'Oh I wonder if he is bored in that part of his life, is he saying he wants to go with a new model?' And the answer would be an emphatic NO!!!

While she is, at her core the same wonderful person I fell in love with, she has grown and changed through the years. We have been experiencing life and love together, and I wouldn't trade the years we have gone through. We have had good times and bad times, but the struggles and the trying is part of the fun of living! When you crossover and get past the rough patches, the good times are then just that much better for having someone to share all of life with. It takes work to stay with the same person through the years, but it is rewarding work, and fun and challenging. If your relationship was stagnant or your partner never changed, how boring would that be? But to learn and grow and share with someone through years and decades, how absolutely blissful!! We will continue to travel through life together, side by side, Watching Learning Growing Experiencing all the new things we each bring to the other!!
