Change is hard

Yes.  I said it.

Change is hard.

And this coming from the girl who loves change! I mean I really do.  I love change.  Even down to rearranging furniture every 6 months.  Bring it on.  But this change?  

This change SUCKED!

Yes.  I said it.  Sucked! And you know what?  I can't even say that I'd do it all over again right now if I had to.

The honest truth is that this change was hard because it felt like everything changed.

• We moved to a new city (which is "home")
• We have a short term living situation (which I'm incredibly grateful for)
• The Dude has a new job with a commute (city living, right!)
• I'm in a new role at home with the little dudes.
• And there is no routine. You know.  All the little things we take for grated like running to the grocery store you are familiar with

So yeah.  It was hard.  

Here is my confession: Day 2 of being in KC I ran into the store, couldn't find what I wanted quickly, and kept thinking to myself "I JUST WANT TO GO HOME!!  (Yes. I almost cried....like 50 times)  Sad, right?!?!

But the reality is that it's not all bad.  It's not all incredibly hard.  (just 90%) But not ALL.

When you are going through change, on whatever level you can tolerate, it's helpful (though not always easy) to keep in mind that this transition won't last forever.  Sometimes it's the small things that can get you through.  Just being able to notice the good parts. 

Noticing the good helps us to continue to move forward.  And it's ok if those steps forward are minuscule.  We are moving in the right direction.  Taking action, even if it's unnoticeable by others.

Change is hard.

Hindsight is 20/20. 

You can do this.  I can do this.  

You can do the thing you think you can't.  You can move forward and have things that you can't even imagine right now.  Minuscule steps.  That's what it takes.  

It might suck, but hopefully one day we'll be able to say that it was completely worth it.
