What's in a Name?

A ship in harbor is safe -- but that is not what ships are built for.-John A. Shedd, Salt from My Attic, 1928   

     Life is full of changes, that is really the only consistant thing in this world when you think about it...everything WILL change and we have to accept this simple fact. I'm always on the fence when it comes to changes...I like the safety of where I am...but I know that things happen and I have to get out of my comfort zone.  

    It can be a good thing when you find your comfort zone. Everyone likes a place where they can feel safe. However, sometimes your comfort zone will limit you. You might be missing out on opportunities without even knowing that you’re missing out! Expanding your comfort zone can bring a whole new world of excitement, passion, experiences, friends, financial opportunities, and knowledge into your life. To take advantage of these benefits, the first thing you must do is embrace change. Life is full of changes. When you get into the habit of finding the good in every change, you become more comfortable with the idea of change itself, and look forward to the new adventures that lie ahead. With this mindset, you’re ready, willing, and able to expand your comfort zone.

    After reading so many other blogs started by my friends and family I thought I would try it out myself! I have been trying to figure out what to title my blog and have finally settled on Parker Praises. This decision comes from the fact that 1.) I recently have married my best friend and thus changed my last name to his 2.) When I actually get to sit down and think about my life...I am overcome with thankfulness, joy, and PRAISES to everyone and everything that I encounter on a daily basis!!! So here I am...stepping out of my comfort zone...thanks for taking the journey with me :)
