Choosing to Take a Chance on Change
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 9 seconds
Talking about change is as easy as breathing. It does not involve any resources or the risk of doing anything.
As much as I am doing better one day at a time and can even see grief in my rearview mirror, the changes I have made are on the margins, not the substance.
With the start 5783 last fall, I made more substantive changes while bringing Jan with me.
I said then,
Jan’s life-changing love will never die and will be the guardrail of my year of advancement.
That has stayed the same, but I know I must now make choices and take chances if I am going to change.
I don’t know what this means, but I feel a sense of relief and a new urgency to take chances.
Jan’s love will continue to be the guiding light, but change will be what I seek.

A Sweet New Year and a Year of Change
Shana Tova! May 5783 not only be a sweet new year but one of change.
Without Jan, my life shattered into a million pieces over the last sixteen months.
I have taken small steps, but those adjustments have been on the margins, not the core of my being.
- I have learned the activities of daily living alone (ADLA).
- I have moved into a new apartment.
But the transitions have not assisted me in defining who I am without Jan.
