Working on my Transitions

Transition: 
The process of changing from one condition to another.

Triathlon has two transitions: from swim to bike and bike to run.

most recent bike ride together.

But the Degonia family has many more transitions occurring simultaneously: John is leaving one job for another.  He is super excited about the opportunity, but that doesn't mean there aren't tense moments.  

Spencer and Denver are transitioning from homeschool to public and private school.  They are not super excited, but they are ready, willing, curious, and more than a bit nervous.  

John Robert is transitioning between time zones as he travels to Europe this summer with fellow classmates and his first girlfriend.

And I . . . I am transitioning from being a 40-something to celebrating my 50th birthday.  I am going from homeschool teacher to P.E. teacher at Denver's private school.  I am coaching beginner triathletes, and I am preparing for Ironman Chattanooga.

That's a lot of transitioning.

According to Google, the word Transition has several synonyms, including Metamorphosis.  I like that one.  The Degonia family is undergoing Metamorphosis.
