No change and change; both can be good, my assignment today for Blogging 101 was to examine my tagline and title. My heart isn’t in it today.
My confession is that I did change my title, the first time I tried to push a little more discipline into my blogging and did Blogging 101, and if I was add a tagline today, I might change it to “Everything Changes”.
What do you think of that tagline? Everything changes was the theme of a recent speech where I spoke about the only constant in life is change. Yet we cling so hard to avoid change, or grump and fight against new ways of doing things. I do it also.
That’s why we celebrate anniversaries because we know that life changes, and with that awareness we celebrate the good occasions.
Today I remember change as a good thing and am grateful as I celebrate 28 years of my kidney transplant in 1987. The time before then was dire with up to 5 months some years when I was hospitalized and hooked up to a dialysis machine.
Tough times for anyone when going through times like that, and today I look back and celebrate my transplant anniversary. But it was a sad day for the donor family as they lost a loved one, and I honor them daily as I celebrate the life they enabled for me.
For the donor family, I hope the sadness is gone. I hope that the donor family can find some some small happiness that their loved one gave life and a chance for a future for seven or more recipients of organs.
Small comfort perhaps but I hope so.
We never know what the future holds, but the present changes, and so do circumstances. 
Celebrate the sunny days, and know that cloudy days will pass.
Today the sun is shining, and I am aware, and grateful.
Life and Random Thinking 
How beautiful 🙂

Happy 28 years of to the kidney that saved you 😉 Life and Random Thinking is nice, so is Everything Changes. I might be bias towards Everything Changes as it is the song title of a song I like heh. I suppose it really comes down to which one sums up your blogging style/content more, in my opinion.
