Most people think of January 1st as a day to start fresh. There are resolutions, words for the year, new plans for getting fit and healthy, etc.
But I find March a better month for all of that. Now I’m not saying I don’t think about those things with each new year. It’s just that there’s a certain increase in motivation that comes with March.
I’m an early riser. And I do mean early. 4:30am early. Recently, the birds have been singing not long after I rise. A sure sign of spring.
Energy is in the air. Spring flowers are emerging, showing us that life is still good. The days are getting longer. No more of that winter dreariness and moody blues.
Now is a great time to think of change. You see, that was the word I chose for this year. CHANGE. Partly because change is happening to me, like it or not. My husband and I are becoming empty nesters. Retirement is on the horizon, something that was always far off and someone else’s life. Alas, I have entered the senior generation. (Disclaimer: I still feel young.)
But mostly because I want to change things up. The necklace above is one I’ve been wearing daily as a reminder that this is the year to embrace change.
In the coming weeks and months, there will also be some change going on here at lifeisnteasy. I hope you will join in with me to create change in your life too. More to come on that soon I promise.
Stay tuned….
In the meantime, feel free to share your own goals for this year, and how it’s going. I’d love to hear from you!
