YES I CAN!! Small changes big results

Small Changes Big Results


I am 53 this year. I am happy to be 53. My 52nd year was tough. Last year was a year of positive and devistating change.

Some of the changes were really great. My oldest got married to a great guy. I re-established relations with my oldest sister. I adopted a new dog.

Some were not so great. I had to start over in my professional career. An endeavor, on which I had worked, came to an abrupt end. After a nine year commitment, the facility into which I had heaped attention and time, became another’s. I was replaced.

OUCH!!

It was a year with no direction. I looked at why and came up with some reasons.

1) Life happens.

2) God has a plan

3) The best laid plans of mice and men…

Then, I looked at my January post from last year stating I was not setting a new year’s resolution. I was sick of setting unrealistic goals. I was ready to not be disappointed at the end of the year. I went on strike. I was sick of trying and not succeeding.

Hey, could this be the reason?

Why did my resolutions have to be DRAMATIC BIG HUGE?

How about a small change?

So very quietly, I made one resolution.

I will adopt a “yes I can” attitude.

It is January 23rd.

I have found a great new facility.

I have started a karate practice.

I have made progress reducing my weekend overeating.

Small change~big result.
