A new beginning

Albert Einstein once said: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

I have an amazing life. I am so blessed to have a wonderful family, close friends, a job I love, a house, and so many other things. Lately, I've found myself in a bit of a funk, for lack of a better word. Feeling 30 creep up on me has had me reevaluating some things and I've decided it's time for a change.

Being a full grown adult now, I've discovered that it is easy to get set into a routine, doing the same thing over and over, seeing the same people all the time. This is ok for a while, but I get bored easily. Recently, my last couple single friends got married and many are now becoming parents. I find myself watching everyone else's lives move forward, while mine stands still.

The goal here is not to give myself a pity party, fish for sympathy, or make my friends and family feel bad for moving on. Afterall, I love being a part of their lives and have no intention of separating myself from them. I've decided to take a little control back in my life and make some changes. My New Year's Resolution is to do 1 new thing, something I've never done before, each month of the year. In doing that, not only do I hope to have a lot of fun, I plan to learn some new things, mix up my routine, and meet new people. This blog will be a journal of my adventures. I imagine some will be uplifting, some sad, and many quite entertaining.

Last year, I found a church that I've come to actually enjoy attending- a very strange concept for me. So my January new thing will be to join a small group. Tomorrow is the start of a small group called "Starting Point" for people new to the church or to faith. Time to step outside my comfort zone and start living life again!
