"Change" - 2012 Word of the Year

It has taken me almost a month now to decide what my word of 2012 will be and I finally decided on "Change!" and I absolutely love this image because it is pretty much what I tell myself on a daily basis.

Technically my life started changing, for the better, last July when I decided that in order to survive I had to leave the job I was doing and find something more meaningful to me.  Well with that, all aspects of my life started changing.
I have opted to start smelling the flowers more, seeing everything and everyone for what they are, and enjoying all aspects of my life.
Right now, the biggest change (and most fun) is the learning curve I'm on going from working with IT systems in a manufacturing environment to those in a financial environment.  I guess if I'm going to take a leap it might as well be a drastic one hey! LOL  It also helps that I went from 70 hours a week and solely responsible to 40 hours a week working with a team.  Makes the outlook on the work life a whole lot more fun.
The other two big changes so far is my daughter moving out on her own, which is good for both of us, and adopting a new 4 legged creature into the household.  So far both are settling quite nicely.
I'm excited to see what changes the rest of 2012 bring for me!  So now, I'm off to make yet more changes to this crazy but fun life of mine!
