For me, the keys to handling or even enjoying the constant change of the world have been to do my best to take advantage of those new opportunities, to be mindful of and lean upon the other constants in my life—like my family, my friends, the peace and renewal I find in the great outdoors, and the goodness of the people around me, especially the members of our credit union—and try to be prepared for anything.
