the beginning is the time of our lives and so we should begin each new day with that thought in mind and live each day with that kind of zest for life!
That is very true... so is Lin's comment. Some things can't begin until others end. And often it is hard to find the beginning. A child gone astray... when did it all begin? A broken marriage. When did the love and commitment start to fade? The hardness in the hearts of your difficult students...when did they lose hope? The end that was necessary for the shell around them to develop. And the shell needs to soften and fall away for hoep to begin anew...
Life is often a series of cycles, I think.
Good post. You are so completely aware of opportunities to be taught.
..true. and all that starts well ends well. loved your snapshot, Sandy. Come visit my entry here http://kcelebration.blogspot.com/search/label/weekend%20snapshot
The universe had a beginning (Big Bang) 15 milliards years ago, but science can't tell if it will end in a continuous expansion or in a great contraction.

ReplyDeleteYou can't argue these things... and when someone is hesitating, they are important things to remember!
Oh, I like your fortune. Here's to joy in all that you begin!
ReplyDeleteWow. The fortune cookies I've gotten lately have been really lame, so it's good to know that's not an industry wide trend.
ReplyDeleteOf course, everyone knows this already, but sometimes we still require reminders.
How true this is dear friend.Have a wonderful week.
