On change and being changed

My wife hates change. It unsettles her and she does not by nature "roll with it." I think that if the city decided to close one of the roads she drives to and from work every day, it would create a very stressful situation for her. I, on the other hand, am way more laid back about these sort of things. At least in the everyday. Perhaps it was some of the early "training" I had when I started to experiment with "recreational" drug use. One of the first things I was told about this sort of behavior was, "Once you swallow it, you swallowed it. You can go forward but not back, so just get to the other side as best you can; it may or may not be real, but it IS. Later, things will be different than they are now." Or something like that. Anyway, since then I have adopted the notion that everything is temporary and something to be experienced. Mostly good, some not so much, but all a part of what makes me me.
That being said, I used to find it difficult to be understanding of Stephanie's struggle with how to handle change. 22 years of marriage has taught me some things though. So to anyone who is struggling with change, however insignificant it may be to others, know you don't HAVE to like it or just accept it. You will work through it in your own way, same as those of us that you (mistakenly perhaps) think don't care. And you'll probably come out the other side as best you can, same as us.
So, Stephanie, you'll make it through these changes at work, same as when you started this job. And I'll listen and try to be as supportive as I can. I'll not say, "That's not a big deal." I'll just keep loving you and be very glad that God put us together.
