I just do not like change. It is not that I do not like new things it is more that I do not like the unknown. I want things to be predictable. There have been times I have stayed in a job or other situation that was not good just because I did not want to change. Sometimes it seems that there is safety in the known.

Yet change is a necessary part of life. Change is needed for growth. Well, so far 2009 has been a year of change. I know the year has just barely started but at least for me there has been a lot of change. Some of it has been good like the Big Guy’s new job. I am in process of changing some things in my life as a part of my yearly goals. Those changes really are so bad because I know what to expect and really, it is more of changing habits than life change. Then there have been some changes that were unexpected and caught me off guard. You, know the kind of change that leaves you wondering what just happened here.

So what about you do you like change or do you avoid it? How do you handle those unexpected things that seem to take you by surprise?
