It’s a fact that some people don’t like, but things change. Families, work places, economies, weather, they’re all examples of things that do not stay the same. And while some things would be great if they always stayed the same and never changed, just the nature of the beast that is one way for several years is to suddenly up and switch the game.

So I should not be surprised that I am currently pondering some serious change coming my way.

It was a slow process. One that I was able to ignore for a while, but that is no longer the case. I have in front of me a situation and  a person. The situation has slowly moved from uncomfortable to one that I am no longer able to ignore. A person I once trusted, I now doubt.

And this is all based on my perceptions of the situation. I don’t know what the other person’s perception is – possibly they don’t realize what is really going on, or perhaps I don’t understand everything they know that causes things to be as they are.

But the fact remains that something needs to change. Either I change how I think, the situation changes, or something else will have to happen. Things cannot remain as they are.

Know who you are and where you stand, then make sure your every action reflects that.

It is not as easy as it sounds (for me), and will be one of the things I strive for this year.

About that – 2010 is going to be an exciting roller coaster of a time. Things will not remain the same. I jotted in my current notebook that 2010 was going to be my year of change, but that is really going to apply to everything I touch in my life. I’m looking forward to it, and afraid of it. I think that’s only natural.
