Wow. Christmas goes fast, no? Just a few days ago, it was one of the most joyful times of the year, surrounded by family. For me, that meant trips to multiple grandparents' houses and feasting on food with relatives whom we usually only see at this time of year. I enjoy it a lot. As I've gotten older, I've realized that my time with a lot of these people is limited and that I really need to enjoy and value my time with them more. This year, since I'm in college, I really tried that, and I believe it worked. I'm sure I still have many "normal" Christmas' left, but the sad reality is that eventually, the Ames Christmas crowd will start to change as old faces leave the picture and new enter.
Well now, if that wasn't a bit depressing, how about some good news?! It's almost New Years, which means a new year to change things. Now, as one of my good friends posted earlier this week on Facebook, you don't need to have the New Year to start changing; you can do that right NOW! However, for many, me included, it serves as a refresh button for life. The decisions we made seem to not matter as much in the new year, the promises we made seem that much closer to being fufilled, and the things we want to do seem unstoppable. Yessir, the New Year is undoubtably a time of drastic change, good and bad. How we change our lives is up to us...
