spring awakening. 2/27/09

march is almost here, the first day of spring is merely 3 weeks away. what a great feeling that is. the return of color, vibrancy, and the rebirth of the frozen white blanketed ground begins to come alive. spring is one of my favorite times of year simply for what it symbolizes, new beginnings.

every day of our lives we have a chance to have a new beginning, a chance to turn the page. it can be little things like helping a stranger, meeting someone new, or large life changing decisions. everyday is an opportunity for a new beginning at something. an opportunity to enrich our lives for the better, educate ourselves, make ourselves whole.

with that daily opportunity also can come new opportunity for temptation, resentment, anger. we must not let these distract us from what our purpose is, from what we need, what we want. we must be cognitive aware of these. we must be able to use the new beginnings for the advancement our general well-being.

i once heard ashley judd talk about "for every ending, there is a new beginning" i have never felt or believed that more than i do now.

i can't explain how much this past month has meant for me. the incredible people i've met, the support they have given, and the genuine compassion they have touches me deeply. to all of you, thank you!
