New Year Here I Come!

Okay so here it starts, 2010. January is always a time where we can have a nice fresh look at our lives, something about January makes me want to  change. Not change who I am, but change the things that are unhealthy in my life. But sometimes we can get so caught in the thoughts of new years resolutions that we forget to rejoice in how far we have come. So what I am learning you ask? Small steps, or as "What About Bob?" puts it baby steps. I have so much more living to do, I couldn't possibly change everything that needs changing in one years worth of resolutions.

Have you ever been afraid of having a repeat of that last year? I know I have. But that is a lie, you couldn't possibly have a repeat because you will meet new people, circumstances will change and time by its very definition is progressive. There is no possible way for anyone to have a repeat of a year. I guess to me that is settling to know, since I have had a run of a couple of difficult years now, and have been very fearful each time to start the new year. However when I look back, nothing is the same. Each year I have grown, those growing spots may be small patches of green grass in my life but they are there, and they are my green patches that are bringing newness in to my life daily. So this year I say step out of fear and into freedom and life.

PS. how can is really be the fourth of January already. if this is any indication of how 2010 is going I better put my glasses on so I can see clearly as it zooms past.
