New Year

It's hard to believe it is 2012. It seems as the years go by the years tend to get faster. I remember wishing time would speed up so I could "get on with my life". It's funny how that changes when you get just a few years older. Now, I find myself asking, "where has the week gone?" or, "wait, it's already January?" It is really amazing how my perspective has changed in just a few years.

With it being the start of the new year, there is a lot of talk about resolutions, changes that need to be made.... You know how the stories go. I wish this perspective wasn't just on January 1st. What if when we realized we needed to change something--we just did. There was not any waiting for a new year to come along. I'm just as guilty as anyone in this. I often wait to make changes because of the impact it might have on my life..... I may have to give something up or do something I'm not really comfortable with.

This year is going to bring a ton of change! I'm going to be a mother. Talk about perspective change. Josh and I's life is about to change in the blink of an eye. Not next year, but this year. Life as I know it is going to change. No waiting around for this one. We're so excited, nervous, honored....you name it we've probably felt it.

This year, won't you make the changes you need to make when you realize it? What if tomorrow doesn't come? Make the changes you need to...even when it's hard...even when it makes you different than others. Think different this year. Make this your best year yet!!
