With a little help from a friend...

Change… that is the word that keeps going through my head as of late… I used to fear change, hate it with a passion actually but over the past few years I have come to love it, well ok at least appreciate it. I guess I used to equate change with a lack of control over my life, but I have come to realize that in fact change can be this amazing gift that you can give yourself… you can choose to change your life for the better, you can choose to make something of your life.... follow your’ dreams, make changes that will make you a better person… someone that is truly living life instead of watching it go on around you. Sometimes it is easier to just keep everything the same because it is safe and comfortable… and often even enjoyable or good. But just because something is good doesn’t make it best.
I had conversation with a friend yesterday that made me realize that I was sitting around feeling sorry for myself and that I was being stubborn and afraid to embrace the changes that I have had thrown at me just recently... changes that literally threw me out of my comfortable, warm, cozy world that I had created and out into this cold dark and lonely place that I was hating and yet refusing to leave. At first I admit it made me angry and frustrated but then the more that I thought about it the more I came to the conclusion that they were correct. It is funny because once I admitted this to myself I was overwhelmed with this feeling of absolute freedom… excitement even about what the future holds.
So thank you dear friend you have helped more then you know.
