A Chance for Change
Welcome to 2012. A New Year. A Chance for Change.
Many of us have made New Year’s Resolutions. I have a whole page full of them, and I plan on doing as much as I can to keep them. But something I realized this morning and wanted to share is that change first a decision, then a gradual process. I have made the decision to change many things about my lifestyle. Yet this has not made me magically into a different person. When I woke this morning, I still had the same weird-length bangs and the mess on my dresser had not been taken away by the 2012 fairies of cleaning. The baggage of 2011, while now in the past, has not magically disappeared either. I awoke for the most part the same person I was yesterday.
I guess all that to say, while I am excited to change, I, much like most likely many of you, must realize that today is the decision for change. Now comes the hard part that requires patience and learning and a margin for error: the actual process of changing. I may not feel any different today, or tomorrow, or the day after that. However, come this time next year, I expect to be a different person. I expect my vision for change to unfold.
Best wishes for patience and determination to you all as you begin this process, and Happy New Year.
Danielle
