Just when I was getting the hang of things... change occurs. I don't mind change. I often welcome it, like when I was a teenager I would change up my bedroom furniture every other week. Fun change.
This change I wasn't expecting. This summer I got a call from my boss telling me that my position at Dawson High School has been dissolved. Apparently I wasn't as indispensable as I thought. So I was transferred to a different school to be a school nurse. I will miss the staff at Dawson very much but I am grateful that I have a job. And a promotion at that! I like my new job. It's fun to interact with the kids, I have my own office with my own bathroom and I can decorate it any way I please. I think it will be a positive change. I'm a bit more prayerful these days; praying everyday for no seizures and no compound fractures and that I can get these little ones through one more day safe and intact!!
The other big change that has occurred recently is my release from the YW program. This was another change that I was not expecting at all. I had been in the program exactly 2 years with the last 4-6 months of it being most challenging. When I was released I felt a surge of guilt and regret that I could have done so much more for the young women of the ward. I had almost 2 weeks of a break before they called me as the ward Cub Master. I'm looking forward to learning the ropes of this calling and making a difference.
Yes, change can be tough. But it's also rewarding. And inevitable!

The thing about you is that you do well in whatever you choose to do, so change is no big deal (for you). Mike is fortunate in that you aren't as fickle with your clothes or jewelry or home furnishings. When you change your bedroom, you always use whatever you already have to work with instead of wanting new stuff all the time. Most of us like to replace instead of recreate and that can be costly. Your family is better off because you are so frugal. "The best things are not always things." I am, and always have been, very proud of you.
