A month of changes....

What is it about January that is so....transitory? It's a changeling kind of month. Even things you thought or considered were permanent - all seem to CHANGE in January...!!?



For example....(now, granted, this is a lousy FIRST example...but stick with me through my train of thought...)



This January, I've now been married 10 years. That's ONE DECADE of my life. That changed. ;)



Not that this is a bad change, because it's not....I love my sweetie - especially when he puts up with so much from my side of things...



I said goodbye to my nice, comfortable teaching calling and hello to a new, more intense calling as HFPE Leader. I admit that I'm currently in a "weak" spot - and don't feel like I can do justice to this calling - or even fill the shoes I'm supposed to....let alone be responsible and accountable for the things that will be expected and asked of me....



This month, we put away our baby crib....I am so sad about this! I know it's a time and season thing, but it just feels so....so...permanent! :( Like I'll never have another baby in my home, now that the crib is put away.



Same goes with the high chair. Our boys haven't used it in over 2 years....and I kept it up for when family gets together, but, as Stann pointed out, it doesn't mean it has to stay out, it just means it can be relocated to the garage....again! Pangs to my heart, because I fear this too, adds another point in the "not having anymore babies" added to my little family....



We said goodbye to that nasty ol' 2009, but are now transitioning again, into another year - 2010, which, although I hope will be better, so far hasn't started out on the best of feet - economy wise or even crisis-wise in the world....



And there are just some things, like change, that are constant, but it doesn't make it an easier pill to swallow, especially when one (ME) only wants to kick their heels into the ground and throw a fit screaming "Enough with the change already!"...



If I thought it would do any good, I'd go to the closet, and scream....but I know that it doesn't and it just leaves me with a sore throat and an intense pressure in my head!


What a way to start the new year! I suppose I'll continue to wax rhetorical, even as I implicate new changes in my schedule - namely - GOING BACK TO THE GYM, whilst I run on the treadmill! Gettin' my behind back into shape!! (LOL)

Now those changes, are the ones I can get behind....!
