This is a new month, but it's defiantly not the first day of this new month of this new year. Like most things in life, it takes me a little bit to get on the move or have things click in my mind. Every New Years on the first day of the year we see the "New Year New Me" line...but for me this year, I wasn't going to fall into that because to be honest, what's so terribly wrong with the old me & my life?
So, I'm going to take just a few short minuets to write my first blog of the year to make who ever reads my blogs aware that some changes that will be made in my writing. No more of this "Starting Over, Yet Again" business because...we cannot just "start over". Whatever happened that you didn't like, learn to deal with it and not let define or break up. Pick up and begin now to make the ending the best yet.
The reason for this mind change...simple, mindfulness. I stopped looking at the past wishing all the painful things that occurred had not occurred. I stopped all the planning and never doing and started looking at the people and things that I have in my life: family, friends (their children), my co-workers, my dogs, my home, two jobs (when most struggle to find one), a car, and the needs of my life that are being met every day no matter what I do. And I told myself, stop looking for the change and ENJOY what you have right in front of you. I've got some awesome people in my life & anyone who knows me knows I think my dogs are the most awesome things that have graced our planet.
In case you are unaware of what "mindfulness" actually is, it's simply becoming aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different. Enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes-it always changes and dealing with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way-because just like the pleasant; it too will always change.
