Change

Change is needed,

Change is good.

Why are we resistant

When we know we should.

There are so many mistakes we make

Because old habits are hard to break,

Thinking you get a new solution

And being surprised with the same resolution.

Don’t stay put in your nest

And start making folks guess,

You can’t react the same,

If there is nothing to gain.

Considering reflecting  hard,

And don’t settle for your cards,

Get a new deck out to play,

And brighten your own day.

Noone deserves to be sad,

When others act bad,

Take control of your life,

And live with less strive.

Change is needed,

Change Is good.

Why are we resistant

When we know we should.

Be the exception,

And change your direction,

Find peace within,

And a new life will begin! 

Plan B

Not everything in life turns out the way we expect it to be or the way we desire it to. That is part of the challenge in life, truly learning to roll with the punches so that we avoid them on the next round! When I look at the faces of my grandkids, so inquisitive about life, I am struck by how early on we learn this principle. And we truly are survival of the fittest!

On that note, my career has taken a turn. I am no longer working for the American Cancer Society and wanted to update any of you that have followed my blog in the past. I realize now that giving to a cause can take many forms and there are always options. I am choosing another option. End of story.

With the closing of a year and the starting of a new one, I am invigorated about life. I see many doors to choose from to open, sort of like “Let’s Make a Deal”, the deal of life, of choices of opportunities. Which door are you choosing to walk through and why? Are your reasons the right reasons for making that choice? If so, I would love to hear from you! I find the best learning in my life is from stopping and listening to others, hence I am all ears.

As I embark on a new chapter, I am hoping to have the flexibility with my schedule to blog more regularly again. The writing process is something I enjoy and the feedback from others, priceless!
