The CHANGE

...... and I thought the "change" only happened in women. Now days everything is changing..... the leaves, the weather constantly, the moods of our peers, the gas prices, the market, the dow, and yes even MEN.

I know we all want change to happen fast. At least I know women want to zip through the "change." But through the storms are when we really learn how to survive and conquer. We change our perspective on life, we look at the leaves as they turn color; we appreciate those warm sunny days in the winter months, we miss those first steps our child made because now they are making large footprints out of the home.

Just going through life is not WORTH living. Our forefathers went through trauma. For some of our "grands," they lived through slavery and for some the holocaust. For many, they survived the recession; and if we want to dig deep in our past generations; Joseph helped save his 6 brothers (who sold him into Egyptian slavery) get through the famine that was affecting everyone.

What we must do during these times of change is learn from them. Start a new budget.... stick by it. Change your spending habits; only get what you need and cut out the wants. Don't give your kids "everything." Lets not look at this time of slumber as a totally bad thing because I know what doesn't kill us will make us stronger. I become stronger through each adversity whether it is personal, financial or physical. I say become and not became because I know that I am still alive and I will have more to overcome.

This is the time to start a new thang. Don Ward stated, "if you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits." Now go start!
