Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

Windmills of Change by valleykatdesigns

I haven't done this feature in a long time and when I found this quote on Facebook, I knew I had to share it.  Of course it might not mean as much to you as it does to me, but it's a good reminder for me since my word for the year is 'change'.

The 3 C's of life:  Choices, chances and changes ~ You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Keyword: Change

The holidays with all their busyness are over and now it's time to settle into winter and back into a routine.  The beginning of a new year always brings thoughts of setting goals, making resolutions, making this year better than last year.

I started thinking about this several weeks ago when I realized just how ordinary and mundane my life has become.  Don't worry.  I'm not going to dwell on my unhappiness or bore you with details.   But I will tell you that my keyword for 2011 is 'change'.

Many changes  need to be made to bring me back to a happy place!  Changes in my lifestyle, my attitudes, my home, my workspace and my relationships are going to be my focus this year.  Changes that can only be made by me.  Changes that are necessary to my health and well being.  I've known for a long time that these changes need to be made but I wasn't ready.  I am now!

Will you be making any changes for the new year?

Wednesday Words of Wisdom

Is there something in your life, home, job, business, family, relationships, etc. that you don't like?  Do you intend to do something about it?  Or are you complaining, lamenting, dwelling or suffering in silence over it? 

We moved to this area of Maryland almost six years ago.  I don't like it here for lots of reasons.  My husband and I went round and round last night (again) about moving back to where we were.  He's completely and toally against it and refuses to move.

So what's a girl to do?  The only solution would be for me to move back.  As tempting as it is at this moment, I know it's not really a solution.  While thinking about this and mindlessly surfing the internet, I came across this quote and realized what I have to do!

If you don't like something, change it.

If you can't change it, change your attitude.

~ Maya Angelou

I need an attitude adjustment!  Although I have tried to do this in the past, I realize I haven't tried hard enough.  It's time to let go of the old life and embrace a new life.  So easy to say and so hard to do!  I'm willing to try and that's the first step!

So what about you?  Will you change that 'something' in your life or will you change your attitude?
