Welcome to December, and the winter winds.  What might be blowing in this month?  Change perhaps? 

The best way to face change is to accept it.  Why do we fight it some times?  As I am not afraid of change, maybe its because I am so settled in my ways that I am unable to face it.  But time moves on.  I need to grow.  Funny to think that as a 40-something year old woman, I still look at myself as growing.

Recently I really looked at my life.  Not the things that I have, but the way in which I am living.  Finding comfort in being myself has been the greatest change that I have faced in the last couple of years.  Perhaps I was fearful of change.  Or maybe I just liked the way things were.  Either way, now when there is change in front of me I don’t get anxious or afraid.  I relish in it.

Late last night as I was reading Kelly from She Wears a Red Sox Cap, she wrote a letter to her former self.  Something I might try myself.  What would you go back and tell yourself?  Starting with the teenage years, I might run out of paper!

“You can’t change it”, my mother always says.  I finally understand what she means.  Took me long enough.

Stay healthy, be fit and have fun!
