A Year From Now

A year from now. 

Author Karen Lamb advises, " A year from now you will wish you had started today." Wise words to me. What I have found to be true is that whether you take action or not a year will most likely go by regardless. 

A year ago Chuck and I were attempting to take a selfie at The Star in Frisco, very poorly I must admit. We had absolutely no idea that in a year we would have sold our house, moved to an apartment, and would be awaiting the birth of our second grandchild. 

A lot can happen in a year, and there is no sense not getting started on something you have been wanting to do. Why only reading one book a month results in twelve books read in a year. Author Gretchen Rubin says, "We often have a tendency to over estimate what we can do in a short period of time, but underestimate what we can do in a year." 

Rubin also likes to look toward September as the beginning of a new year. As a retired teacher this makes perfect sense to me, because the start of a new school year always began around September, and with it the promise of something new. 

So if you've been wanting to try something, why not get started this September. You might be surprised at all you can accomplish in a year.
