Happy New Year!

Change is funny.

Sometimes it happens so gradually that you don't even realize it until, suddenly, you do and you think, "Huh. That's different."

Sometimes it's a conscious choice, made after weeks or months or even years of careful deliberation, and you finally make the leap.

Sometimes it's a conscious choice, but a quick one, and you know you're going to second guess yourself down the road but commit to your split-second decision anyway.

Sometimes--and these are usually the most difficult times--change is forced on you, and you have to choose between fighting it or adapting and making the best of it.

Some changes are happening around here. Some of them have been gradual and unconscious (I'm talking about you, twenty pounds that keep going away and coming back) and some have been more purposeful. We're feeling a shift in our attitudes and intentions. We've worked so hard to reach a place of stability, and of course now that we're there--because we're ornery or because we're foolish or maybe just because we're human--we're looking to shake things up.

Stay tuned, because some new things are coming to the ol' blog to keep up with the changes happening in our lives. It's exciting and it's scary and most of all it's gonna be so so good.
