Happy January fine peoples. How the heck are ‘ya?

I’m not sure how you feel about it, but I’m OVER winter, cold weather, snow…all of it. Yes, yes, yes, I know we need cold weather for the better good of Mother Earth, our planet…the whole ecological system. HOWEVER, I don’t have to like it! Just sayin’.

I recently took Noah tom the optometrist for his eye exam. He also wanted new glasses. AS we discussed lens options with the optician, she asked if he wanted transition lenses. He immediately said “yes”. “It helps your eyes see things better and differently when you’re in the sun”, Noah told me.

That got me to thinking about all of the transitions that we go through in our lives. Those lenses will help Noah see things from a different perspective. A different way. Better? Maybe. Different? For sure. What about you and me?

I am in the middle of one of the biggest transitions of my life: preparing for retirement. As I write this, I only have 79 days left of working with clients(last day is May 15th). A BIG transition is in the works! Transition not only provides the opportunity for a different perspective, but it also provides the opportunity for change and growth.

As I think back over some of the most biggest transitions I’ve made in my life, I think about marriage, the adoption of our children, all of my health issues and moving out of state-for the 1st time in my life. BIG transitions. NEW perspectives. And each one of those transitions brought about tremendous change and allowed me to grow.

I’m not completely sure what retirement will look like. I think I know how some of it will look, but all of it…not sure. However, I am walking into with anticipation, excitement and wonder. I am going to embrace the change. To me that is the key, embracing the change.

So, what about you? Do you embrace change? Do you look at these “life moments” through a new lense, with a new perspective? Remember, change bring opportunity right along with it, and opportunity can lead to…..(you get to write this part😊❤️). I love you.

Be well,

Jeff
