Endings and Beginnings

     I hate endings.  They are always so final, and if you dwell on them they can be sad.  The word "never" seems to pop up and strong emotions come up.  In life, the very word end can give the empression of there is nothing to follow or replace what has been either good or bad.  There is nothing after what has been, and can cause a period of mourning. 
     There is another way of looking at this.  Most of the time, when there is an ending somwhere ther is a new beginning.  I care to look at this as the glass being half full.  The old must go in order for the new to be planted and grow.  Endings of old things many times are followed by the beginning of new things.  The new, many times, far exceeds the old.
     I am sorry that this may seem so cryptical today, that is how I am feeling.  There are changes going on in my life, major changes.  Let the old end and be burried.  I am looking forward to the new and exciting beginning.  Its exciting!

Be encouraged memories are good even in bad times we hang on to them because they are in our hearts journeys.Thats how we grow as individuals different levels of growth. Trust God, set goals for the remainder of your life and live with expectations to come. You are thought of fondly...
