Accepting Change

     A lot of people I know hate change. They think it's inconvenient and annoying. It makes them go out of their way to accommodate. I personally don't mind change at all, partly because I realize change is the only  constant in life, partly because change has been a big part of my life, and partly because though sometimes change does make things harder, a lot of the time change makes things easier. 
     When I was ten, my parents bought a new home and we moved. That change was better, since we were moving from a trailer (with built-on additions to accommodate five growing children, a couple of them nine years apart) to a double wide. Instead of us all having to share rooms with one another, we each got our own room. And instead of my parents' bathroom having the only shower and bath, the new place had three full bathrooms. Though us kids had a rough time with the move, leaving the only home we knew and all, the improvements made it easier. The move and change of space was a good thing. And who doesn't want a bigger home, right?
