Change is Good, Bad, but Mostly it is Change

This morning I had the honor of helping send off about 60 folks on their various half and full marathon training programs. I would meet many of them along the Monon Trail with water. While I was on the trail manning the water station, I thought about all the change in my life of late.

I sat along the trail, and looked at the incredibly immense sky. Lots of puffy clouds this morning. It was warm, but not the humid mess we have had this week. I am loving my new job, workplace and co-workers. I am loving being back in Indiana, where spent my early years. I love being back with friends I have missed. I love the slower life. I feel very much at peace. Those are the good things about the change in my life.

The bad part is, I do miss some things about Chicago. I miss a lot of the conveniences of the city. I miss some of the cultural things. I do miss Lake Michigan. I miss my friends there.

For the most part though I see the change as change, neither good or bad. Ok....it might lean more towards the good. :-)

Tomorrow I plan on running the Monon Trail. Will let you all know how it goes.
