Different, but also the Same

I find myself saying this a lot: “So much has changed all at once!”

Moving out of a typical house into a little mobile house, having a full-time stationary job to working multiple freelance contracts, living in the same town to moving slightly around the same town, having big travel plans and now instead staying fairly local for the time being. Things change. That’s what they do.

In moments of “holy shit, this is a lot of change” I’ve found myself comforted by all the things that haven’t changed. I still have Cali, Rocket, and Hops. I have my partner who is incredibly supportive. I have my family who is just a phone call away. I have my mind and the ability to learn new things. I have my body which can walk, jog, run, jump, climb, and take me on incredible adventures. I have books to read. I have work that I enjoy doing. I have my camera to take photos of the people and places I love and the things that inspire me. I have so very much in my life to be thankful for - in fact, when I stop to appreciate every little thing in my life - I recognize that I’m wealthy beyond words.

Anyway, the point is - if there are times in your life where it feels like everything is different and that feeling overwhelms you momentarily. I suggest taking inventory of all the good.
