A Time For Transition

Late summer and early fall are times of transition. Across the country, parents are moving their last child off to college or out into the real world and learning how to hold a new identity as empty nesters.

Others are walking their kindergartener into a classroom for the first time and hoping their backpacks have the right supplies.

Meanwhile, kids are nervously getting on the bus to middle school for the first time and hoping they can remember their locker combination.

Transitions are a natural trigger for reflection. They almost force us to look back – what if this next stage isn’t one in which I thrive? What if it’s not what I expect?

How many of these transitions have you faced in life – those in which you were scared of the unexpected. And how many of them turned out better than you could’ve imagined?

How many led you in a life-changing direction – with people who became lifelong friends or new ideas that helped you discern what you want out of life.

Transitional moments are significant. Not in spite of the fact they make us reflect on what we’ve left behind, but because of it. To know who we are to become, we must know who we’ve been.
