As I sit inside feeling the slight breeze from my open window, I realize that life is forever changing.

There is no normal and every moment in time changes my brain. I have to adapt.

How quickly I adapt depends on how big the change.

I remind myself that it is okay to feel all of the emotions that come with change. Grieving a time that once was.

I give myself the time and space to feel these emotions.

I move slower and tell myself that is okay.

And then I start feeling better, getting up earlier, feeling at peace with this “new” life.

Because though this is a big change, I keep in mind that normal is always new, is always changing.
