As we reflect on the year that has passed, and anticipate the new year, I read a phrase worth pondering today: Before and After. We all have those major moments:
Before high school graduation and after.
Before we were married and after.
Before we had children and after.
Before a parent died and after.
Before Grandchildren were born and after.
Before we retired and after.
All of us have major life events, and there's always a before and after they've happened. And while the events may or may not change, there's still before and after.
But it's not only major events for this thought process. As you ponder your resolutions, before and after could be as simple as before today and after today, before dinner and after dinner.
I think we could make different choices if we include the smaller choices. It could be as simple as thinking "before dinner I was busy but after dinner, instead of veging in front of the tv, I will take a walk."
Major life changes always create a before and after, but little life changes could be good for us as well!
What will your "before today starts" and "after the day ends" look like??
