The Ever-Changing Tides of Life....

Change.  When you hear that word, what is your gut reaction to it?  I would venture to say that most of us are resistant to change.  Our lives, whether blissful or not, are comfortably normal.  Everyone has a different kind of normal.  My normal would most certainly be someone else's boring.  Your normal might be strangely foreign to me.  Yet there is comfort within our own normal, good or bad. 

I believe most of us desire change in some area of our lives, though.  Whether it be your finances, your relationships, your weight, your material possessions; we are always in search of something more, something different.  The bottom line is that nothing changes if nothing changes.  Therefore, we should be embracing change, while resting in a place of contentment. 

So, my resolution or theme for this year is contentment through change.  I have a host of things I would like to improve upon this year.  None of those aspirations will be realized if I do not embrace change.  And none of those aspirations will have value without contentment in this moment. 

I hope to share this journey on my blog.  Will it be a daily blog, weekly blog, monthly blog?  I don't know.  I just know that I need a place to put my thoughts out into the unknown from time to time.  I will continute to share recipes, products, and songs I love.  I welcome your comments. 

I will start by sharing a link to my brother's book, depicting his story of overcoming adversity through his faith in God.
