The Changes Begin Now
So, I’ve not posted a blog in QUITE some time. However, I felt the need today to express all of the happiness that I feel for the changes that are taking place in my life. I have made some pretty tough and exciting decisions in the past few months that have turned my life upside down…and I couldn’t be happier.
In the last 6 months I have learned quite a few lessons about what marriage is and what it takes to grow that relationship. I have found a new belief in myself that was fostered by the belief my husband had in me. I have become excited again about life and what it has in store for me.
And so the changes begin. And here are the things I promise myself…
1) I recently resigned from my job and plan on starting my own business. I acknowledge that this road will be difficult, and there are sure to be bumps along the way. I promise myself that no matter what happens, whether my business is sustainable or not, I will look at this decision as a success. I will give this time to build and grow, and I won’t get discouraged if it doesn’t start overnight.
2) I will continue to work on my building strength in my marriage. I have learned in the past 6 months how blessed I am to have such an amazing partner. I promise to continue to build on the solid foundation that we have made. I promise to put my marriage first.
3) I have really let the gym and my running slide off in the past few months. I promise to give myself the gift of good health by getting out and getting active, not because I want to be a size 2, but because of how good it makes me feel. I promise not to focus on the scale, but to focus on the enjoyment that I get from beating my best time or finishing a long race.
4) I will let myself enjoy this time in my life. Life can change at the drop of a hat, so focusing completely on the future could lead to a lot of wasted time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m always going to make decisions to set me on the right future path. However, I promise that I will not let the future keep me from living in the now and enjoying the blessings that I have in my life right now.
And so, as I end my day I am thankful for the twist my life is taking and I look forward to the happiness that tomorrow will bring!
