2009 was a big year for Ena and I. As with anyone a year filled with high points, with a few steep climbs along the way. We moved, I changed jobs, Ena kept hers and works from home full time, the dogs, Ena’s father being diagnosed with Parkinsons, the crappy economy (we survived), a year documented on Twitter… The list goes on.

“Its not that some people have will power and some don’t, its that some People are ready to change and others aren’t. ~ James Gordon M.D.

Change really is good! Ask anyone who knows us and they will tell you that we are on a 4.5 year move scheule. The urge hits, an opportunity presents itself, we weigh the options, if its best for US we pack up and go. See, its not that hard. Just don’t sweat the small stuff. Hell, we moved from Chicago to Austin mid year on less than a months notice. Was it easy? NO! Did we survive and come out of the ordeal better for it? YES!

“Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.” ~ Carol Burnett

All to often I see people stuck (for a lack of a better word) in a life or a job they are not entirely happy living. My advice to them… Give it up, cut your losses, pack your shirt and haul bass for greener pastures and fish filled water. If you need a map let me know… thats kind of my thing!

“They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself” ~ Andy Warhol

The point is – all things change with time, we get old mature, we pick up fly rods our interest change, we eat too much mexican food put on a few pounds, we move south the witnters get colder, the summers get hotter not because of global warming, add your thoughts on change here…..

“Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified as in real life itself.” ~ Bernice Abbott
