Marie Cumby and Farren Mervicker
MR. AND MRS. CURTIS DAY ofTuliaand Mrs. Don Mervicker of Dorchester,
Texas, announce the engagement and upcoming marriage of their children, Marie
Day Cumby and Farren Donald Mervicker, January 15 at Preston Wood Baptist
Church, Dallas, Texas.
Farren is a junior program analyst for Atmus Energy Coporation in Addison,
Texas and Marie is a senior accountant for ATAP Financial Corporation in Addison.
They are now building a home in Frisco, a suburb north of Dallas.
physically or emotionally destructive or
unhealthy. Winston Churchill said, "Be
sure to take change by the hand before it
takes you by the throat."
We must BELIEVE that we can
change, and then our beliefs must be-
come ACTIONS. Accept your personal
responsibility for taking the necessary
action to accomplish the desired change.
No one else can do it for you. Our habits
took time to develop and they will take
time to change. If weight loss is your
goal, you must determine what eating
patterns you have acquired since child-
hood, why you have those, and what
changes you will need to make in those
patterns in order to lose weight. The
same is true of exercise habits, money
spending, or family relationships. We
can improve if we are willing to make the
choice to change. If we think we need no
improvement, it's time for an attitude
adjustment.
Another Chance
We look to a new year as another
chance to change bad habits and im-
prove our lives. Someone has said, "If
you do what you’ve always done, you
will get what you’ve always gotten."
This logic applies to parenting, weight
control, money management, smoking,
eating habits, exercise or any other be-
havior we wish to change. If we want a
different result, we must change what
we do.
Change is difficult but not impos-
sible. The old saying, "You can’t teach
an old dog new tricks," is not a valid
statement. In my job as an adult educa-
tor, I believe that we can all change
habits and behavior if we have the right
information and the right attitude and
motivation. Some people strongly resist
change because it is comfortable and
secure to do things like they have always
done, even though the behavior may be

New Year's resolutions are a frst step
in the process to change. As you think
about your life and that of your family in
1993, and determine areas you would
like to improve in 1994,1 hope that your
highest priority is to make your family
life more enjoyable, productive and
positive for your spouse and especially
your children or grandchildren. Consider
resolutions to strengthen family com-
munication, to increase encouragement,
to show more affection, and to improve
discipline methods.
I appreciate the opportunity to work
with each family in Swisher County and
resolve to reach more families with in-
formation that can make their lives bet-
ter in 1994.
