I think it was by design that God wove new beginnings into our lives. These are some of my favorite new beginnings.
Mornings.. Even when they come with the 5:30 a.m. alarm. The smell of coffee and the wag of Bella's tail make it a happy time for me. Right now I'm waking up to pumpkin flavored coffee - it's almost like pie. Almost.
Birthdays. Don't be a grumpy cat. Might as well love them! Embrace your age...it is who you are.
A new job. I have a new job this fall! Actually, I've had a new job every fall for the last three years. I always make friends and learn new skills. But this time I think I have found a home until retirement. Of course, there is always the saying, "Man makes plans and God laughs". I will try to keep my hands off the steering wheel.
The first day of a new school year. Back when I was in school, that meant a trip to Louisville (the BIG city) with mom to get new school clothes. We rode the Greyhound bus. Mom didn't have a license. She got one when I was about 15. Then I turned 16, got my license, and she pretty much never drove again. She was an excellent backseat driver, tho! I miss her alot.
So, I hope this is a time of rejoicing and new beginnings to my friends and family.
A quote from one of my all time favorite movies regarding this time of year. As Tom Hanks wrote to Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail....
