Change...

Ahhhh...the one word that can spark fear in one person and bring pure joy to another....change! Change can be good and change can sure as heck be bad. Trust me I have been on the receiving end of both types of change (that is another blog post for another day!). Change is what I am trying to navigate for myself in 2013. I want to break free from the funk I have been experiencing for the last several months and focus on the positive. I want to make changes in my life that make me feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally.  So far 15 days into 2013 and I am doing good. I am blogging more, enjoying the chatter the 365 of kindness and gratefulness is creating on Facebook, and working to stay in the present more.

Now can I improve on more things yes, but hey change does not have to happen overnight. The change I am looking to make to my life will take time and it will be something that should continue to evolve over time. I am looking forward to some changes I will be encountering in the near future and to find the good in the changes that occur. Wasn't it Sheryl Crow that sang about how, "That change will do you good?"

Today was a day full of ups and downs and I think as I sit here typing this, I simply needed to get my thoughts down from the day. I needed to remind myself that all days won't be calm and harmonious. Change is inevitable but if you take the time to sit down and reflect on the events from a given day typically you can find something good. Maybe you will learn something new, maybe you will find something about yourself you want to work on, maybe someone will surprise you. We should not focus always on the negative. It seems that when a day does not go exactly as planned people immediately focus on the negative and in doing this an individual can be missing out on a life lesson that could turn into a positive.

Now I have got all my thoughts from this day out and I have reflected on my day, I am at peace. Time for some shut eye and then we shall see what new adventure awaits me tomorrow.

Until next time I hope you embrace changes in your life with an open mind and kindness in your heart to others! :)
