Change happens. Someone once said that the only things certain were death and taxes. While that may be true to a degree, there’s at least one more thing we can add to that list. Change is certain. Things will not stay the same, the way they are right now.
In my life, I have had a season of change. One of my kids, my oldest, is fully independent for the very first time. She and her roommate got an apartment. It’s a hard thing for me to see that one of my kids is old enough for that to be true. Change.
My second child just graduated. She’s getting her first car later this summer. She’s headed to college this fall. That’s also hard for me to accept. And on top of that, this year has been a crazy one for her as well. She finished high school in the midst of COVID-19; graduation and prom were postponed, and most of her senior year was derailed. Change.
My third child just turned 16. He’s learning to drive. He has not yet chosen to get his driver’s license… yet. But that change will happen sooner or later. Change.
So change is certain. If that’s the case, then how do we deal with it? How do we adjust? How do we embrace it? And how do we prepare ourselves for it? These are the questions rattling around in my head this week. I hope they challenge your thoughts as well.
Also, isn’t that T-shirt sweet? One of my favorite movies is Tommy Boy, with Chris Farley. Callahan Auto Parts was his father’s company in that movie. So the T-shirt was a must-have.

Random Ramblings are just that: they are random, and I’ll probably ramble. It’s an opportunity to share a little about what’s going on in my mind.
