I’m going to tell you one of the scariest words that exists. Interested? It’s change. There I said it. Are you scared? If not, you are in the minority. Change makes people anxious, but without change there can be no growth, no new ideas, no increase in knowledge. Without change life is just plain dull.

The Society of Decorative Painters needs new members. The “old” members need to accept this and start welcoming new members and new ideas. If you keep doing the same thing year after year, you and your groups will grow stale. Open your minds, open your hearts. As the Girl Scouts say, “Make new friends, but keep the old.”

Above all, find a reason to smile today!
