Transitions are times in our lives when things change. Some changes are planned, such as a marriage or birth. Other changes like an illness or divorce could be unexpected. Some times of change may seem like obstacles impossible to overcome; other changes are opportunities for personal growth. Whether difficult or joyful, many transitions are simply part of the normal unfolding of our lives. Please limit stories to 400 words or less (approximately one page) or less.
