I can begin again...

I like this photo-it really reflects the daily life I lead. Things are always changing. But do you ever wonder what "Things" people refer to when they say "things are always changing." Sure the traffic light always changes, the time on the clock changes, our moods change, the amount of gas you have in your car changes....BUT is that the kind of things that change we are referring too? Not for me it isn't. The "Things" that I am referring too is life, my life, what's happening in my life.

When I was growing up the age old question was always asked...what do you want to do with your life when you get older, what do you want to be when you grow up? It was usually a teacher, a mother...something that meant something. I never said growing up that I wanted to be both the mom and dad....I always thought that my life would have the big house (ok medium size is good too) and the husband/wife team with the kids running around, both successful in their jobs, careers and making a difference in life. So the "things" that are forever changing in my life is that picture. But here's the thing about that picture...it's ok. I am ok with how life has been. What I would of thought, NOPE not in a million years. But because of all this I have learned who I truly 100% really am, how I really handle things, what I will and will not put up in life, what I struggle with, what my real hopes and fears really are. I have this really great thing-it's called change and I'm good with it.

So all that being said it brings me to this. Over a year ago I made a promise to change my life, lose weight and be real. And I'm going to be honest-I did it pretty well for a year and 1 month...then I fell off the path, rolled down the hill and landed face first in the mud. Life hit me good, from every angle really. Personally, financially, professionally and I gave in. I gave into the old habits, the old ways, what was easy and what was the past. I'm not proud of it by any means, but I have learned. I am getting back up, walking back up the hill and continuing the course....but paying for the stumble big time. So to my readers-if I still have any out there....keep me going, help me make this path right and make this part of my life count. I want to make a difference, I want to leave a legacy and I want to at the end of my life know that I did it for all the right reasons....Honoring HIM every day of my life by leading the best life and having a personal relationship with GOD. That's how I get through the "things are always changing".

Make it a good one, make it count.
