Next Chapter

If you know me I don't let things go easily, no matter what it is.  Joke, something funny, something sad, something good or life changing.  It has actually turned into a joke.  Not sure why probably because I don't do well with change.  When it comes to good times, good memories and funny things I like to hold onto them as long as possible fearing I will forget them if I let them go. 

I the last year I have actually learned that letting things go isn't always bad.  Letting new things come into your life is ok.  But when they leave your life that is ok too.

Letting go no matter good or bad has become a lot easier.  It is just a new chapter in my book of life and I am ok with it.  It doesn't mean I cry any less, it just gets easier to accept changes and new chapters. 

 

25lbs

A few weeks ago I went to dinner with our new employee and another employee from our Japan office.  While I was paying for dinner they got a peek of my drivers license which was taken in 2008.  They both were amazed that it was me.  I look at it all the time so I think it looks like me and there really isn't much change. 

The next morning I decided to find another picture from 2008 or 2009 to compare to now. 

2009 - Now

I have to say it didn't happen overnight and it has taken a lot of dedication and hard work.  I do have to admit I was happy to meet my goal weight after losing 25lbs and seeing the difference.
