Change

Change is good. I've decided that I am one who needs change often. It's healthy! At least for me! :) I am ready for this next month in California to help look after Benny and Laura's boys. I have realized that when I have a chance to be busy and helping I am happiest. Thank goodness there are a lot of opportunities to serve if you just look for them. Not only is service good, but just doing something different any chance I can get. Being at this stage in my life where I have the chance to learn each day what I enjoy or don't enjoy is nice. I can look at this time in life as lonely, boring, uneventful or I can see it as fun, a chance to explore life, and free! So I've recently decided to take the latter approach! Don't get me wrong....those who know me know I'd love to be at home being a mom and doing mom things...but that not being the case I'm going to ENJOY being me, whatever that includes at the moment. I went to a fireside at my mission presidents home last night. Its been almost 3 years since I returned home and I realize that I have been holding back WAY too much! He said something last night about being a "wall watcher" (meaning someone who doesn't make choices because of fear of the unknown and staying safely on the ground) I will be the first to say I have definitely turned into a wall watcher! What the heck, I DON"T want to be a "wall watcher!" So although it may take time I am realizing that the only way to do this is by creating change! So...here I go! I hope it will be a good adventure and a successful road! I am aware that change is exciting at first but then I have to continue to do something with that change to make it worth while~ and there's something about putting it out on the world wide web that makes me feel accountable!
