New Beginnings and The Pain of Change

Change.

What makes us so resistant to change despite signs that what we are doing isn't "working"?

At what point do we say enough is enough?

For me, it is after vitamin deficiencies, shingles, osteopenia and a positive Celiac antibody test. For my husband, it is the beginning of metabolic syndrome, joint pain, and fatigue.

How do you change habits that are thirty-plus years in the making?

How do you no longer eat what you have always eaten for breakfast? How do you change your "wants"... your "likes"? How do you add exercise into an already full schedule?

One day at a time... and a good measure of grace and faith for the journey.
