Transitions take us fromm one month to another, one year to the next, one pay period and the list can go on. Some transitions are welcome changes in our lives- parents to grandparents. Some transitions are painful- divorce, death, health issue. Life gives us more transitions than we can handle sometimes. The key is to face each one and just keep going! The going takes us to new and different places and parts of ourselves that may be untapped. There are many symbols that can be used for our transitions. I like the butterfly with its various life stages and meanings. The ugly duckling story is one of hope and beauty. We do not have to like every transition in our life. We just just have to face them. Are you going through a transition? How did you handle it? Did you have the supports around you to cope?
