Beginnings

    Sometimes, we shy away from new beginnings because we are afraid of where they might take us. But unless we set our foot upon the path, we will never really know where it leads. It is true that not all beginnings are bright and cheery. Starting an unpleasant chore, or beginning a life without a loved one is hardly cause for celebration. Yet in dark times, it is often the chance to begin again which helps us to make it through. We take each day, each step, each breath, one at a time, in order to survive. Remembering that each new beginning might change things for the better: lighten the darkness, ease the load, heal the wound.
