Changes...

Maybe it was something in the wind, maybe it was just the right time, maybe it was just the results of wanting some changes, whatever it was/is, there are changes being made in my life right now. First off I changed the Rose guest room around and now its more like a sewing room with a bed in it. I need a place for all my sewing things and I wanted to use the room with the most light and the best view out the windows for those dreamy moments in the midst of inspiration. I even hung my favorite Nancy Noel prints in there.
Then change #2 I went through my closet and weeded out the things I really don't wear that much. It seems most of us have favorite outfits that we wear and then a closet filled with the clothes we like to look at but don't wear much. I kept outfits for all my moods, so there are some chic outfits, some back to nature type clothes, meaning hippy, natural fibers, relaxed fit sort of things and then there are some long skirts for my homestead/almost feeling plain days, and my all time favorite outfits, jeans and tee shirts, the kind of tee shirts that say things of importance.
Change #3 Joined Weight Watchers again. I just need to get motivated and paying to get weighed is a big motivator for me. I need to do this for me, and for my family, to become healthier. I pride myself on being in good shape, flexible, strong, lots of energy etc, but the fact remains I weigh too much. I need to change that.
Beyond #3 is yet to be discovered for the changes that will be made. I feel like I am on the cusp of changes, good changes.
At some point in time we all have to get real with ourselves, stop pretending to be more or less than what we are, or say we feel a certain way just to please someone else. We need to be real enough to admit what changes we need to make, from small things like clothing and room designs all the way to our health and spiritual well being. We need to be open enough to say about ourselves what everyone else says about us behind our backs : ) Today is the day for watching Under the Tuscan Sun and understand the basic concept of taking a chance, not living in fear of what if or what will people think, living life with childlike enthusiasm and embracing the joys of life.
