The end of the year is one of my favorite times. Christmas has always been a special family time of celebration and warmth and love and looking forward.
It feels a little different this year.
As I move into my smaller apartment off the main house, and focus on being sure all my affairs are in order so my daughter doesn’t have to mess with all that annoying minutia, and look through years of memorabilia, it occurs to me this is the beginning of a new beginning. And in order to do that, I must allow, with love, the completion of an ending. Because, with all endings, come new beginnings. As each night falls, a new day of possibilities is born. New hopes. New plans. New dreams. New relationships. New challenges. That is what keeps us young. That is what keeps us creating. And I am a creator.
My biggest challenge is change. If I am honest, I don’t really like change. I embrace it because I have learned to. I have learned that is how you move forward into the new. And the new equals creation. And creation equals why we exist. So…I welcome change.
And so, I move ahead, knowing this trepidation is actually excitement, and that this discomfort is actually the creation process unfolding. So interesting that at the ripe age of 77, you find yourself still expanding and growing and challenging yourself. That is the definition of life Itself. Let’s all choose Life!
Blessings,
DEE
