Change?

Lately I have been told, quite frequently mind you, I've changed a lot over the last few months.  I know some mean for the better because apparently I seem happier to some people.  (I am by the way!!)  I am also assuming some mean a change in a not so positive direction.  I am choosing to hold off acknowledging those comments until I see how things play out.  In either case I hope I have changed.  To remain the same is to stop growing, learning, accepting and ultimately becoming a better person. 

Tara F., a person whom I never get to see but hold very near and dear to my heart commented on a post once and these days her comment rings more true than ever.

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, and forget the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy but I promise it will be worth it."

I realize this is someone else's quote but to me it will always be from her and it is remarkably true.  I took the chance, it is definitely changing my life, has been down right torturous and most importantly it, has been so very worth it!

With a little luck, a lot planning and a great deal of self control this coming year will be adjusting and accepting the recent changes in preparation for actively making some very large life changes soon after.  It's time to chill out and get ready for bed.  Good night!
