This school year opening was met with one major change in the work place, one that we, the workforce or the faculty have been working for so hard that we have risked almost everything: money, peace of mind, relationships, etc. The change? A new administrator. We were granted this finally after two years of working it out, writing letters to almost all the authorities concerned and finally God smiled on our little request. and that so far was the greatest change that happened to us and it is the most welcome one.I hope this time the change would last for a whole term/s, not just for a few weeks like what happened before. Now we can work in peace and harmony.
At home comings and goings form part of changes in the family front. A daughter goes while a son comes home. The daughter wants to be freed of my apron strings while the son feels he needs to find a home-based job.Kind of an answer to my silent prayer that one of my children would stay home with us. His coming home was timely as I needed a private nurse to tend to me while i was admitted to the hospital for hyperacidity. Well, he was there all right but as I was an exemplary patient with not so many needs, he brought my laptop to the hospital with him and played through out the days of my confinement and while I lay awake at night I listen to his rhythmic breathing as he lay on the narrow bed beside mine. Well those stories of headless nurses and white ladies did the trick of forcing me back into sleep.
Meanwhile I anticipate a major physical change in me as I say goodbye to my gall bladder and the stone that has lodged in it for three years now. What would it be like to live life with out that little organ appendage to the liver? It remains to be seen as i submit myself for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. I looked it up and very careful not to misspell it. On of my cyber friends tried to comfort me by saying the procedure is so common now and it is not really a "major" operation.
Well changes are inevitable in life. We just have to face them. According to Charles Darwin,"it is not the strongest of species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."
