Today is supposed to be the end of the world, or maybe it's just the end of a cycle. Or maybe it's not the end of anything, just another day that the earth completes a rotation.
I did contemplate beginnings and endings today. There's the end of childhood innocence, the end of our school days, divorce, retirement, the death of our parents or a spouse. With every ending, except our death, we get to begin again. New journeys bring new knowledge, new experiences, new responsibilities. We don't have to wait for the universe to force a situation on us. We can make our own new beginnings by changing jobs, quitting that bad habit, or improving our diet and doing exercise.
Don't wait until New Year's Day to make a resolution. Start now. And if the world ends at midnight, you only had to go without chocolate for a few hours!

Very inspirational, Bev. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe 21st came and went and I never even gave this end of the world fuss a thought. When the day got here it was lost in actual life events that made the contemplation of life ending more real, more personal; the being here each day more valuable.
ReplyDeleteSo,so right.
