Thanks so much for continuing to post Darla's articles. I am sure she is continuing to teach and enlighten others in the Spirit World. I am especially thankful for her topic regarding change. Change has always been especially difficult for me, and I found some real gems in this article to help me more fully embrace whatever comes, and to learn to live with joy in changing circumstances.

I love the way you think (and write)! You bring up some very important points of how it is not only possible to survive change but to thrive in the process. Thank you!

"One prayer God never answers is for things to stay the same." Not when it comes to a 40+ year old woman and her single, never married status in the church! I tried using the "reverse psychology" on God. For years I've been insisting to Him how much I just LOVE doing everything alone, working to support only myself, with no single men beating down my door begging me to go on dates, no opportunities to experience temple marriage, sitting alone in church every Sunday, surrounded by families and babies while my biological clock ticks away. Please, God! Don't ever let this change. I've never been so happy in my life, I SWEAR!

Great thoughts & quotes. At times, changes are happening so rapidly that I struggle with trying to enjoy.

Another great article, Darla. Thanks for your brilliant observations. We would all be happier if we could remember the advice in this article.
