There are times in life when you just get busy and don’t have time for the things that are important to you. Don’t feel guilty or ashamed, take a breath and think of it as a new trail.

Say what? Yes, instead of getting down on yourself because what you used to do no longer fits, think of it as a new trail you’re blazing. Begin looking around you because where you are now is not where you were. It’s a new place which will one day begin to look as familiar as the old.

We recently purchased a new home and one of the hardest things has been finding places for what we had and remembering where we put it. Why? Because it’s a new home, the set-up is different, not everything fits the same. The old pictures don’t look right in the new house. The old rugs don’t work the same in the new house. The colors are different in the new house.

That’s how life is sometimes. When things no longer fit where they used to perhaps it’s time for change. Stop trying to make it work like it did because it won’t. Take some time to evaluate your life today and ask yourself why you’re doing what you’ve always done expecting different results.

If you’re a runner, find a different route. If you’re a writer, find a different place to write. If you’re a caretaker, find a different way to care. Any gardner knows that simply repotting or placing a plant in a different location will cause it to come back to life. Mix things up a little and watch your life thrive.

Keep on running your race regardless of the changes in your life.
