So far, the blogging phenomenon is still outside my forte’. I’ll get it though. So on the subject of transitions, I’ve discovered that I and many of my friends are in a transition period. I, personally, am trying to work more as a PI than an office manager. But today, I had a conversation with a woman who needs to pay a fee to my agency. She was frustrated with huge financial struggles, and faced with raising a granddaughter after her daughter went to prison, recovering from injuries after being hit head on by a drunk driver. She said she had no idea how she ended up in her current situation. She is in transition. I reconnected with a former schoolmate who is going back to school in the fall. Transition. Another dear friend is getting married in the fall. Transitions, just to name a few.
When transiton is a choice, or forced upon us, how we react can speak to our character. The woman I mentioned is choosing to get through her struggles with dignity, the schoolmate – to challenge herself, and the engaged friend, to seek an even fuller life.
I wonder what my transitions say about me. I hope they are about hope. What do your life’s transitions say about you?
