I thought it would be appropriate on a brand new blog that I mention" new beginnings". Everyone at some point in their life comes to a fork in the road and must make a choice as to which path they will take. What may seem to be one simple decision, can actually result in an entirely new direction for one's life. As we travel through our own journey, our lives develop into chapters, much like those in a very long novel. Starting over can be very scary when a new chapter is before us without the knowledge of how the story will unfold. Nevertheless, we must turn the page and continue on.
Recently, people seem to get a charge out of reminding me, and incessantly so, that I am now an "empty nester" as they put it. Believe me, I don't need reminding. I'm well aware that the person I raised from her very first breath is now gone off to college a whole 4 hours away and out-of-state, no less. It is taking some time to get used to. Yes, I still have 2 dogs to care for, but that is not exactly the same as taking care of a human being. So, I've turned the page and started my new chapter. I haven't the slightest idea what the future holds, and so right now it is touch and go. It is time for a new beginning, and time to start over. I think that I'll do it slowly, just one second at a time.
