My wonderful family wants me to have the best of everything. Unfortunately, that often involves change — and change is not my strong suit.
This weekend, for example, my beloved iPhone 6s was pried out of my hands (with my reluctant approval) and replaced with a shiny new 16e. I know, I know — progress is good. But as soon as I start getting comfortable with one gadget, another upgrade appears on the horizon.
As if that weren’t enough, our Select Comfort king bed also got an upgrade — adjustable mattresses this time. It’s not that I dislike these improvements; it’s just that my brain doesn’t adapt as quickly as the technology does.
Take my nighttime podcast routine. It used to be so simple: grab my wired earbuds, plug in, and listen. Now, it’s an entire production. I have to fish my fancy wireless earbuds out of their little case, twist them the right way, and somehow get them into my ears — all in the dark. Half the time, I’m not sure if they’re even on.
Then I remember — there’s always help nearby. When all else fails, I can just ask ChatGPT.
Because as Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us:
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”
Maybe this is my season to learn — slowly, reluctantly, but with a little laughter along the way.
