I love beginnings. I love each new day. I love the sunrise, the sunshine, rainy days and the opportunity to start over. Every day, every hour, every moment is an opportunity to start over. It doesn't matter what you said or did a minute ago - what matters is what you say or do right now.
I used to dislike my name since too many people thought I was a boy or had a boy's name when I was a tiny child; but as I began to embrace my name as its definition, "new beginning", I've grown to love my name as it's a daily reminder of every moment bringing new beginnings. EACH MOMENT WE START OVER IS LIKE BEING GIVEN A NEW CANVAS TO PAINT UPON The more I focus on the moment of each day, the further away I get from pains of the past. The past is never gone from memory but it becomes harder to reach with each moment of focusing on right now, today, this minute - that feels like peaceful freedom. I'm beginning a new journey each day. I'm leaving my mistakes behind, taking my accomplishments ahead, I'm forgiving myself and apologizing to my targets for slips of the tongue, swings of my mood and misunderstandings. In forgiving and apologizing, I can leave it behind and move forward. Every day I'm a work in progress; you are too. Beginnings offer a fresh start, a clean slate...endings offer the opportunity to make a new beginning - so while some endings are sad, many endings are happy. Choose to be present in every moment and learn to begin again each new day.
