1 - Spare Change

Time may change me, but I can't trace time. David Bowie

I’m someone who thrives on change. As a military family, we pack up and move every 2-4 years, and we usually move “big”. I change homes, license plates, friends, and jobs all.the.time. It’s all environmental though, and as much of an impact as it has on my life it isn’t the personal, introspective kind of change.

This project is all about smaller, more personal changes. The kind I normally vow to make on Jan 1st, then forget by Jan 5th…. (I confess I actually love making New Yrs resolutions, it’s the KEEPING them part I don’t enjoy so much.) Instead of tracking one resolution or change for 356 days though, I’m proposing 365 changes. Can the human animal sustain that kind of change? Can I even think of 365 things about myself I don’t like enough to want to change? Can I remember to blog for 365 days?

{{Breaking news! Just had to add this juicy tidbit, am watching Celebrity Apprentice and The Don just asked Joan Rivers if stubborn Clint Black had changed at all, then interrupted her and said, “I don’t think anyone really changes, you just come out how you are”. Interesting! Perhaps Mr. Trump should follow this blog to confirm or deny that theory!}}

{{Breaking news report #2! As soon as I typed the above, a Wendy’s commercial began with the tagline, “Life Changes…. But the Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich never does.” Ah, change is indeed in the air!}}

Change. The first one is easy. I blogged! I’m blogging! I’m a blogger now! A changed woman indeed.
