What was it that Garth said in Wayne’s World? Something like, “We fear change,” while pummeling a robotic arm with a mallet. Then there was the greatness of Roseanne, in which Darlene had a new boyfriend. Roseanne’s take, “Change bad! No new people!”
Yeah, I get that.
But then I look at the things in life that have come about as a result of some painful nudge in the change direction and I am truly happy.
It’s been a tough year for many people around me, and for me at times too. But wow, what a great year it has been! How is that? *shrug* Not a clue. But I’m not alone. I’m seeing a lot of people who could say, easily, that this was a horrid year, saying instead that they have blessings beyond their anticipation. Maybe it’s that joy-filled glass-half-full way of looking at life that makes any of us continue on, ever.
Well, one thing that won’t change, for me, is the incessant need to cite pop culture (and mostly television… and mostly Beverly Hills, 90210: The Brenda Years) in making my points. Get used to that. If that somehow feels offensive to you, please take a look at the attempted Pop Culture Challenge Chip and some friends took once upon a time.
Not pleasant.
Okay, so one of the changes that I’m embracing today is my new Atkins lifestyle. Yes, I know, I hear all about how controversial Atkins eating can be. I know that many people find the “discard the recommended food pyramid” idea to be scary and even crazy. Hell, my government has mislead me before… perhaps their plan to fill me with grains is wrong. Who knows?
But I’ve been doing Atkins induction since December 15th. So far; down ten pounds and 13.5 inches (four of them from my waist). Say what you will about the wisdom of this lifestyle… I’m losing weight and my energy level is outrageously high (and not manic, either). I’ll take it!
I’m not going to spend my time Blogging about my diet. That’s pretty boring, and only a fraction of what my life is, really. What I’m going to do here is give you my take on the world, and that will include all manner of things. Enjoy! Or not.
Change Is… Well, Change
