Roll with the Changes

We all make decisions that can change our lives. Sometimes we don't know we're making them, or the impact that it will have until much later. I'm rolling with my changes. There's a lot for me to do and although I think I have to do them quickly, maybe I don't. Maybe I can just take my time and savor the feeling.

It's Christmas time, and the lights are out and people generally have a feeling of good will. Although you always hear the mall stories about people fighting over the last toy. Thank God, I was never that kind of obsessed shopper. I love the smells in the air and the Christmas music, I love watching people do nice things for others. I love performing random acts of kindness and watch the rippling effect. Although to be honest, I do the random stuff all year around so I can selfishly enjoy it. This next year will be very different for me. Although I'm never alone because I'm lucky enough to have friends as family, it will be different not having that significant other by my side. It will be one of many challenges that I will face for 2011.

I know that all of you have challenges to face this next year also. I'm looking forward to facing them together. So while we're all enjoying our Christmas dinners, let's make sure to say a prayer for our service men and women who won't make it home and their families that support their efforts. We are truly a blessed nation, despite our faults and our troops fight to make sure we stay that way. If I don't get the chance to blog before hand, Merry Christmas my friends. Each of you are my greatest gift and I couldn't want for more with you by my side.
