Be the Change...

I can't say I've ever been particularly fond of the cold. Or the snow. The shoveling, the scraping. No thank you. But this year, I look forward to it. Maybe it's the holidays and all the happiness they bring. My heart just overflows with love and affection for my family and friends. I know there is absolutely no place I would rather be than in this moment. And the snow is so white and pure. It blankets the Earth, covering her in newness and fresh beginnings. It brings me joy.

As I stare outside at the quiet, slumbering world on this bitter cold night, I think of the snow and I can't help but be inspired for the changes I want in my life, too. The new beginnings I dare to venture.
  • I want to be more accountable to myself in my everyday living including my healthy living habits. This includes mindful eating, working out, practicing yoga on a regular basis and keeping in touch with my spiritual life. Also, of course, Weight Watchers...which is going well! Hooray
  • I need to write more. Writing for fun is good exercise for the mind. Journaling my thoughts is healthy and its like I'm having a conversation with myself, which is good, I think.
  • Keeping up with my schoolwork is very important and this first semester is two weeks from coming to an end! I have As in all my classes, which is great! Two more semesters and I'll be done. Adding coding to my transcription program was a good move. It was an additional semester, but in the long run, it will be worth it. It will make me more marketable and it will mean a higher salary or pay grade. And, it's only three more months. 
  • I need to be a good advocate for myself in appealing the decision my medical insurance company made regarding the neurostimulator. Knowledge is power, so it is important that I get as much information on my case as possible. It's just going to be me against them, so I'm really going to be in this. But, anything of value has never been easy. 
What do you hope to see change for your life? Or, do you wish for things to stay the same?
