,
The time of year when leisurely schedule must be relinquished is upon us . . . well, almost. We still have a long weekend, and I don't know about you, but I intend to savor every last drop.
It occurred this week that I observed the changes in myself unexpectedly by seeing the change of someone I admire. And in her telling her story, she revealed great courage. While my changes are all together different, perhaps why what she said made me take more notice of myself is because I noticed a small, but significant similarity.
Often it is the case that the change we seek isn't recognizable to us until long after it has actually happened. Part of the reason we cannot often see it so quickly is because we are with ourselves each and every moment. But there is no doubt the change happens.
The conscious
changes we wish to make in our lives will happen, we just have to make sure we don't give up even if we can't see the change yet. Because guess what? It is happening. It is happening quicker than you realize, but it will most likely only be evident to you when a large change has occurred, or a change in environment, people or something out of routine occurs. When that does happen, celebrate yourself. Revel in your accomplishment, and remind yourself that whatever you
wish to improve, attain, change or eliminate can happen with clarity, patience and effort.
As September begins, a new chance in many ways to get the fall, back-to-work routine right, or should I say more improved. New, more helpful habits were put into place over the past 10 weeks, and if you are like me, they have become more readily
available to just happen without thought. Here's to a wonderful new season, month and back-to-work/school. Until next week, I'll see you on the blog!
